It's also possible to (with Solaris at any rate) to include the -l or -k
options on the command line, e.g.

    <ENTER> man -l passwd

produces a file containing:

    passwd (1)  -M /usr/man
    passwd (4)  -M /usr/man

You can then select one of these man pages with <ESC> h (or the mouse in
Xved)
