+**whatis** file indexes all of the articles the man command can find.
+man uses "more" to page files. Can something else be used?
+Solution:
+By default man will use "more" to display items one page at a time. However, you can view man pages using other editors if you set your PAGER environment variable to the editor or pager desired. For example, in ksh, to use the page command:
+   export PAGER=/usr/bin/pg
+Enter **catman -w** to create the /usr/share/man/whatis file.
