In KDE, you can also use #command or ##command for man or info pages respectively.

Ex:
#ls opens man page for ls.
##gcc opens info page for gcc

Thanks a lot - very helpful. Much nicer fonts to read in than a terminal windows, especially for long man or info page such as perl or bash.

works well with Suse also, and I suspect any other *nix running gnome or kde.

I believe, this does not work with yelp on RHEL4.

OOPS, reading it more closely and I can now see the man pages. I read the KDE and GNOME directions and got them mixed up!

Thanks :-)

I tried the GNOME tip on RHEL 5.0 and it doesn’t locate man pages just gives me results within the GNOME help system.
