Manpage scrolling and breaking in 10.2?

[michaelsanford]

I remember the good old days of Darwin in 10.1.5 when I could display a manpage, get a xx% as a pagedown prompt, and could ^C to break man display before the book was complete.

Now I just get a regular linux colon prompt, and I can't figure out how to quit the manual once I find what I need. ^X or ^C give me a bell. I've had to resort to suspending the job and killing it.

It's not such a big deal for the rm manpage--the tcsh manpage however is a little longer.

What's the deal?

The man pages are now run through the "less" viewer, which is good because you can page up and search even on a remote terminal.

To exit, you press 'Q'.

What; no complicated control-key combos?!
