Sorry about the ambiguity. Normally, when you execute the man command, the output is displayed one page at a time. I do not want the output of the man command to be displayed by pages but, instead, continously scroll, what command option would I use to do this?
This is for an intro UNIX class, so I don't think they want us changing variables at this time. (I could be wrong though).
Hmmmm...... I don't see anything applicable on Solaris' version of 'man'.
I cannot think of anything solution, but:
I was wonderiong if ther is a way for a user to add a man page specific to thier account. similar to copying the .1 or .1.gz to /usr/share/man/man1 "cp *.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1". Except for using another folder as I don't have access to /usr/share/man/man1. I would think that this might involve... (1 Reply)

For a long time, when I type man anything on my Mac, both the manpage header fonts and the background was black, so I had to use my mouse to highlight the manpage output to read it. It was really annoying.
The problem was the same both locally or using the terminal and going ssh somewhere.

dear unix experts,
the 'man' command on my system isn't finding a manpage that is
in a MANPATH directory, or even when I specify the path directly:
12:56pm ilya@node1390 /idi/sabetilab/ilya/usr/share/man $ man -M . xemacs
No manual entry for xemacs

intro - Introduction to commands
DESCRIPTION
Section 1 describes the commands available for all Tru64 UNIX users.
Some reference pages in this section may contain suffixes to allow their files to exist with those of other reference pages having the same
base name and section number. When used, suffixes are made up of one to four letters. See the man(1) reference page for more information
on suffixes.
Commands related to system maintenance appear in Section 8.
ERRORS
On termination, each command returns two bytes of status, one supplied by the system giving the cause for termination and, in the case of
normal termination, one supplied by the program. For more information, see exit(2). The first byte is 0 for normal termination; the sec-
ond byte is customarily 0 for successful execution. A nonzero status indicates a problem, such as erroneous parameters, or bad or inacces-
sible data. The status value is called variously exit code, exit status, or return code, and is described explicitly on reference pages
only when special conventions apply.
