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]
 
OPTIONS
       -C  config_file
              Specify  the  configuration  file  to  use;   the  
              default   is /etc/man.conf.  (See man.conf(5).)
.
..
...
..
. 
       -a     By default, man will exit after displaying the first  
 	      manual page it  finds.  Using this option forces man to
              display all the manual pages that match name, not just the
	      first.

$


Does what I am thinking of make sense?  Is there another way?


Cheers,
Lloyd
