I tried both the stable and beta versions and neither one would read my man pages. Jaguar problem?

Uncheck the "All (-a)" box and then enter the command; it should work fine.

-rob.

Thanks, that did the trick for me too. However, I still can't get man pages in the terminal (which is why I tried this GUI frontend). This happened right after the 10.2 install. I've got the usual suspects in manpath, but no go. Anyone else having this prob?

TIA

Yes.... I do!! I have rewritten, redone, rebozzeled, and re configured my manpaths till they are coming out of my ears. I've tried in ~/.cshrc, then ~/.tcshrc, then !/.login, and even in the root directories...... NOTHING WORKS!!!!!!!...., and believe me, I am not new to Unix.

I've used ManOpen for a long time. In fact since 10.0.4 when I tried all 3 of the current graphical man page viewers. There's more now. ManOpen was the best for reasons I can't remember any more although they each had their good points. ManOpen allows sort of hyperlinks which allow you to open other related man pages just by clicking on them. The other thing I liked about ManOpen is that you can open a manpage file directly which is quite difficult under unix (I can never work out the actual command line to do that - I'm not talking about an "installed" man page here).
