You can just use 'man <command> ' at the shell prompt, e.g. for the lsof man page: man lsof Some commands have multiple man pages, such as man itself: peter@talshiar:/var/dsdr/NONeDIR/bckctrh062> man man Man: find all matching manual pages * man (1) man (7) man (1p) Man: What manual page do you want? Man: 1 Hope this helps. Cheers Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This is true. I was hoping to keep the answer desktop neutral since I didn't know if the user had KDE, Gnome or another window manager running. I'd actually forgotten about the #command option in konqueror, thanks for the reminder.

In GNOME, just run "yelp", and enter the command in the search box. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

man man. ;-) Actually, there are a couple of ways. You can open a terminal session and use "man <subject>", for example, if you want to read about the ls command you'd enter "man ls". Another method, at least with the KDE desktop is to press Alt-F2 to bring up a Run Command box and enter #<subject>. You can also use ##<subject> to get info. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
