Dear all,

I have a question about Unix manual pages viewing. In KDE environment
whenever you open a Konqueror window and then you type in the address
bar for example: '#file' this will print the Unix manual page related
to the file command in a very well and organized way (sometimes
with colors) much more interesting than what you obtain in a terminal.

Actually, I have encountered difficulties with KDE under Ubuntu 8.10
and many KDE applications including Konqueror don't work properly.

Therefore, I wanted to know, meanwhile is there any application under
Gnome providing the same functionality?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

:p

In 8.10 you can click on system>help and support

then in the search box type "man **"
