When you do 'man something', you'll find yourself in a "pager", likely
'less' or maybe 'more'.  (More being the older of the two, less being the
better, IMO.  Which pager gets used can be controlled by setting your 
PAGER environment variable.)  In either case, 'q' for quit will get you
out.  'h' will get you the help screen.
