What were you trying to do?
quit from the middle of a manpage, using the 'q' key
What's wrong:
I got this as the bottom line:
<EOF> Hit return to continue
Hitting return at this point continues reading the manpage,
paging down as if I'd hit the spacebar, NOT the return key.
The only way I found to actually quit was to ^c.
What should have happened:
It should let me quit. If it really thinks it's a return, it
should scroll down one line, not page. If it's a problem with the
RS/6000 version of man, it should be replaced. The man command
should be as identical as possible accross the platforms, IMHO.
