Larry, Ethan, It's not quite that simple. CTRL-D is the (default) end-of-file generating character (more on what that means later). By a very long-standing convention in Unix that predates the existence of _any_ "visual" mode programs like Vi / Vim or (non-GUI) Emacs, an end-of-file causes vi

Re: Getting all "man" pages?
