Hi. I noticed that while I am in a man page CTRL-F moves me a page ahead and CTRL-b moves me back a page similiar to EMACS. Is a man page opened in emacs? I thought that when I type 'info command' it's opened in EMACS just wasn't sure about if man was.

Also if anyone knows .... say I type this in VIM
/* this program does something */
'accidently put a space here '
#include <stdio.h>

If I accidently put a space in there by pressing 'enter' is there a way to
make '#include <stdio.h>' pull back up by putting cursor in between the two lines and pressing delete ot something?

if I am in 'command' mode I tried putting cursor between and pressing delete
to PULL the line up to the other line and get rid of the space but it didn't work ... also tried it in 'insert' mode didn't work either.

no, groff normally.

and is there any need for such a huge signature? that's a lot of wasted space.

sorry ... ill trim down my sig ... just thought those were funny .. but they're probably old

i just meant the two inches of blank space... does look better know though...

Just a pointer...

Manpages, as basic as they are, one would assume would only need the most basic of tools. If you head over to www.linuxfromscratch.org and check out the basic book (containing the minimum set of tools to get Linux up and running), you won't find emacs anywhere (other than a suggested link), only vi(m), but you will find the manpages, so, again, reason would suggest that emacs is not used for things like that, along with "most" other basic things (like info).

HTH

Cool
