I type: I dunno what flavor you're running (HP/UX?), but if it has csh then you might consider getting tcsh and running that. It has a help key, where after you type 'foo^H' it looks for foo.help in a specified directory. I chop some manual pages up so they fit on one screen and voila. Even if it doesn't help you, somebody else might benefit. Good luck.
