Hi all,

Is there an easy way (ctrl-<n>) to have the displayed "window" of 'man' to be dumped to the terminal.

eg. $ man man [ctrl+d] [ctrl+d]

[snip]

I'm not sure that I understand the question. Does one of these do what you want?

man -P cat man man -P 'col -b' man

Hi Tim, That works well thanks! I am selfish. Ideally, I only want the displayed piece of the man entry present in the window... ie when I scroll up, I would peruse less info.
