|
|
When I do:
man somecommand
and then exit the pager "less" with the q command, the screen of man page info clears off of the terminal.
How do I prevent it from clearing off ? I would like to get the info on the screen, and then quit the man page leaving the info available for use.
I am using aterm if that makes a difference. |
