here's a quick question; In my debian
installation when I use man I can only page up,
page down and scroll. Is there a way to do a
search in man?
(perhaps man man will tell me? ;-)
         ^^^^^^^ I'm not home right now and
cannot try this.

thanks!!
we now return you to our regularly scheduled
discussion
