q I believe, I enerally mash the keyboard until the man page disapears ;)
Me too, but q doesn't work. :( Still, not a problem in an Xterm.
yes it does, type man man...
First thing I tried! (It doesn't appear to have one on my system). Mandrake 8.0, you gotta love it's inconsistencies. ;)

Agreed! See my remarks earlier about installs never being the same twice.
And one of the examples is - that if I open a terminal window and type 'man man' I get the page - and a swift tap on the q key closes it, as it should. In fact, that was one of the few items of *nix lore that I bought with me to linux :)
