Exiting a manual
I'm sure it's really easy, but I have searched on Google and on the forums and haven't found anything.

For instance, if I open the grep manual (man grep), I can't close it.
I've tried ctrl+c, ctrl+x, scrolling to the bottom of the manual.
How can I exit the manual without closing the shell?

edit: Thank you Tytalus.
