Well, if Mr. Pike says "Look" would crowd button 2, then I drop it.  But how does one jump to a string in a man page without visually scanning it from top to bottom (for example)?  Plumbing the text 'man(1)' to sam works alright; but I thought there might be a way to leverage the text window's noscroll behaviour a little more.
