I logged off for a minute to run man pppd, and got a 55 line display. The man I have comes from the EasyMiNT distribution.
pico and more and less give me 55 line displays, from a 55-line toswin window. The others I have not used.
It is possible that the problem you report is somewhat unique, and is at your end. How was man installed? Have you tried "stty rows 55" before starting man, and what happens if you do?

I do not use man often, so I always forget to report it. For unknoswn reasons, when running man in Toswin2 window, man alway thinks that the size of the terminal is 25 lines (even if it is more). I really do not know what could be messed up (all other programs (ms, nano, pine, lynx) work ok, even standalone less works ok). Any cluse -- Semper Fidelis Adam Klobukowski atari@gabo.pl
