OK, many thanks! I think I must have been mindlessly clicking on

Are you saying you clicked on the Image File I posted?  If you did, of course 
nothing will
happen.

Or, are you saying you brought up konqueror on your system, typed "man:/" in 
the left box,
got the same list and then clicked on "Section 1" and didn't get a new page 
with "Index
for Section 1: User Commands" and a list of commands.

The good one certainly looks a lot better -- but doesn't do

Ahah!!!

I see your problem.

In konqueror there ar 2, count them 2, boxes you can enter at the top of the 
screen.

The right one is a "search engine" box.

The left one is the URL box.

You are typing in the right most box!

Move to the left!

Ok, I thought you were agreeing with using DVDs for backup.  I agree 
that for large volumes an external hard drive is definitely the best. 
Also network storage for backups that don't need to go off-site.

There's also XFburn, that doesn't require KDE.

You could burn data discs straight from the Nautilus file browser
(probably with a plug-in), but I haven't tried that since several
releases back.

I've usually found that weird burning issues were often due to crappy
blank discs.  With poor quality control, the next disc in the stack
wasn't quite as bad as the prior, and you don't nail the issue down to
the right problem.  Or simply, that when the drive has another go at
focussing on the disc, it succeeds.

I've found that if, when you insert a blank, the drive spends ages
whizzing around trying to figure out the disc, that indicates its a bad
one.  Good discs whiz up virtually instantly.

These days I only use Verbatim discs.  There's usually only been 2 or 3
brands to try at my shops, they've been very good, just about all
others have been dire.

It can also be a compatibility issue with your drive and the discs. 
The discs could be good, but your drive may be bad, or simply doesn't
like that brand.  And drives do wear out, or simply age badly even
without lots of use.

All these things can also be done with a USB thumbdrive, which is

Here I hit a snag small. I tried it on a Mate terminal, and on a 
workspace with no app running (unless panels are called apps), but 
neither was right, and I didn't know what graphical interface you meant. 
Then I thought to go through the whole main menu -- and found help under 
System that I had never noticed was there. Again I'm deep in your debt.

All I know is that when I try either Brasero or K3B and get some 
sort of failure, I just pull up the other, and it does the job.

I burn media either to back up data a/o software, or to add those 
things onto another machine (I used to use ssh and scp with a router

competent to install dd-wrt on the new one.), or to give away live media,

Your underlying question seems to be how to view man pages nicely.  Try 
using yelp (the Gnome help browser).  You can call it from the command line:

yelp man:crontab
yelp 'man:crontab(5)'

Or you start it (it's called "Help" in the graphical interface), press 
CTRL-L, then enter "man:crontab" or "man:crontab(5)" in the box.
