Hello All,
Anybody else been struggling working through the Info and Man pages,
trying to figure out how to navigate them?
I'm still not sure how to browse the Man pages with anything other than
up and down, but last night I had the insight to try something new with
the Info pages.
info info
This got me a tutorial/lesson on how to use Tab, Space Bar, Backspace,
and Delete keys. I haven't gotten through the lesson yet and still
don't know how to return to the exact place you were before you
Tab-Carriage Return'd into a new thread (you can always Delete key and
Space key back to where you were), but I finally feel like I'm making
progress with the Linux command documentation.

If you are trying to navigate man pages from the command line, or in an
Xterm, try "man less". The man command uses less as the default pager
on most Linux distributions. You can change it to something else by
setting PAGER. "man man" will give you more information about the man
command. There are also a couple of programs for reading man and info
pages under X. (Not sure what comes with Mandrake - I normaly use
command line tools for that.)
