I find the default pager (more) for the 'man' info pages to be buggy. Pressing F forwards 3 pages instead of one, it always exits at the last page, and the formatting can be improved. I prefer the program less. To change it, add this line to your ~/.login file:

setenv PAGER /usr/bin/less
This should help because, as we all know, man is dogs best friend.
