The times when it takes "a little while" to load a man page is because they are in a compressed format. When it says "formatting man page..." it is uncompressing them. If you access that man page again, you won't see that message, and it will load much faster. The man pages are then recompressed if they are not accessed after a certain amount of time. -Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
