That doesn't work here. I can type in /progress but it just shows up at the bottom. If I try "n" or shift+n I just get a n or N. Maybe my man page uses something different. That said, I haven't tried Konqueror in a while so I found it, it gives a error but I can type in man:dd and it shows up. It has a search tool. Last time I tried it, wouldn't even come up. That was a while ago tho. Guess it got fixed. Dale :-) :-)
