Hello, I've tried a "man man" and a "q" for quit with termcap20001216-1 =>
-----8<----------------------------------8<-----------------------
man(1)                                                     man(1)

NAME
       man - format and display the on-line manual pages
       manpath - determine user's search path for man pages

SYNOPSIS
       man  [-acdfFhkKtwW]  [-m  system]  [-p  string]  [-C  con-
       fig_file] [-M path] [-P pager] [-S section_list] [section]
       name ...

DESCRIPTION
       man  formats  and displays the on-line manual pages.  This
       version knows about the MANPATH and (MAN)PAGER environment
       variables, so you can have your own set(s) of personal man
       pages and choose whatever program you like to display  the
       formatted  pages.  If section is specified, man only looks
       in that section of the manual.  You may also  specify  the
       order to search the sections for entries and which prepro-
       cessors to run  on  the  source  files  via  command  line
       options  or  environment  variables.  If name contains a /
       then it is first tried as a filename, so that you  can  do
       man ./foo.5 or even man /cd/foo/bar.1.gz.

OPTIONS
       -C  config_file
              Specify  the  man.conf  file to use; the default is
              /usr/lib/man.conf.  (See man.conf(5).)

       -M  path
              Specify the list of directories to search  for  man
              pages.  If no such option is given, the environment
              variable MANPATH is used. If  no  such  environment
              variable  is  found,  the  default list is found by
              consulting /usr/lib/man.conf.  An  empty  substring
              of MANPATH denotes the default list.

       -P  pager
              Specify  which pager to use.  This option overrides
              the MANPAGER environment variable,  which  in  turn
              overrides the PAGER variable.  By default, man uses
              /usr/bin/less-is.

       -S  section_list
              List is a colon separated list of  manual  sections
              to search.  This option overrides the MANSECT envi-
              ronment variable.

The screen is cleared (why not but I do prefer keeping the man page), and
the cursor is set on the top fo the screen, **whitout cleanning what was
there before**.
