Bob,
When you have finished viewing a man page, press "q" (without quotes) to
quit.
If a command creates several screens of output, you can pipe the output to
less by appending "| less" to the end of the command. Here are two examples:
lspci -v | less
ls -ld ~/* | less
When viewing the output with less, use the up/down arrows to move a line at
a time or page up/down to move a screen at a time. Just like man, press "q"
to quit. There is more information about pipes here:
