All,
BTW - 'less' has most of the same features and movements of vi, so you don't
have to fire up vi if you do not wish. You only need to set your PAGER
enviromental variable to 'less':
$ PAGER=less
$ export PAGER
then man will automatically use less as the pager. On Linux, I believe less
is the default pager.
