Manual reference pages, traditionally known as "man pages," can be displayed using the Man Page control in the Help subpanel.

To display a man page

  1. Choose Man Page from the Help subpanel. A dialog is displayed, prompting you to enter a man page.

  2. Enter the name of the man page you want to see.

  3. Choose Show Man Page.

You may repeat steps 2 and 3 as many times as you want to view additional man pages. When you are done, choose Exit.

Example. To display the man page for the vuewm command, first choose Man Page from the Help subpanel. A dialog is displayed, prompting you for the man page name. Enter the string "vuewm" into the name field ...

... then choose Show Man Page. The man page is displayed in a quick help dialog.

When you're done, dismiss the man page by choosing OK. To display another man page, enter its name just as you did for vuewm. When you are done viewing man pages, choose Exit.
