24 Sep 2004 The good Solaris man
.. I am referring to a man page on Linux box ... ah there is the example usage ... no thats not ... hmm.. may be I should try this ... Now I quit the man page and want to try what it said. alas! It vanished into thin air when I most wanted it!

On Solaris this is not the behavior. When you quit from a man page display, (mostly on having found a relevant example) it remains on the terminal so that I can easily refer to it. That is such a nice behavior compared to the man available on Linux.
