Re: Stupid man question

scott <svetter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
Got a stupid man question for you all. When running the man command
a t command prompt you hit the space bar to finally get to the end.
When at the end, how do you get out of it?

Others have mentioned q, but you can also stuff "e" into your LESS
environment variable. That tells less to quit at eof.

export LESS=-ceigqj5Mx4X
