I'm trying to view the smb.conf.5 manual page in the docs/manpages directory, using the pg command, and it's filled with .PP and other would-be control characters. Is there a better way to view this file, because it's very large and I'd like to print it out. Thanks for any help.

A couple of ways to do this. 1. Add the docs/manpages (full path) to your $MANPATH variable. Then use the man commnad 2. nroff -man smb.conf.5 | $PAGER Darin DeCounter wrote:> > I'm trying to view the smb.conf.5 manual page in the docs/manpages > directory, using the pg command, and it's filled with .PP and other > would-be control characters.
