 Hi Igor,
I saw a post by you related to vim not showing correct
 behaviour - not restoring the screen when it exits like less or man.
 My question is this :  you can get less to not do that by using the -X
 switch. Is there a way to do that with man?

man uses the PAGER environment variable to select the pager program.  By
default it uses less -isrR, IIRC.  You can add any other flags to the
less command by setting PAGER in your environment.

Thanks Igor,

 I'll look for what PAGER is set to and try to add flags
there. Really appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Ananth
