Okay, I'm still getting a hang of what I'm doing here, but I seem to be doing well enough that I'm mostly asking my friend/"tech support" stupid questions which he says can be pretty much all answered by reading the man pages. However, I absolutely loath reading anything of any length in a console window. Is there a more "user friendly" (read as newbie friendly) way for one to be able to read the man pages?
Thanks in Advance!

I'm lazy - so generally I create a postscript file out of it - sometimes a PDF to peruse at my disposal;
man top | col -b > top.ps The I can ps2pdf the document and just muck around with it as I wish. (like ps2pdf top.ps) -- stephen kuhn - proprietor
I'm not familiar with postscript files at all, Anything special about them, or is it just basically a sort of text document or something?
As for the pdf file option, it's nice to know I can do that, but I suspect it won't work for me, since pdfs and I usually don't agree all that well. I'm sorely in need of an update on my computer's hardware, and I suspect that might help me when dealing with pdfs, but for now, I avoid them when I can.
At any rate, thanks for the help! ^_^
