man:// seems just to be a konqueror-ism. It's still pretty good. For more GUI-like 
presentation, you might be able to find xman still available. Or, process the manual 
page into Postcript or PDF and use an external viewer.

But even at the console, you can scroll through the document the same way you'd scroll 
through any other document using the "more" functionality -- in other words, this is 
builtin to "man". You can page back and forth, skip to a specific keyword or phrase in 
the page (/word) by using the / forward slash key. It's something I long ago got 
addicted to.
