How do I read the on-line manual pages?

  The manual pages reside in $PVM_ROOT/man. If your system supports the MANPATH environment variable to supply the man command with a list of directories, add this one to it.

If you use csh or a derivative, add the following lines near the end of your .login or .cshrc file:

    if (! $?MANPATH) setenv MANPATH /usr/man:/usr/local/man
    setenv MANPATH "${MANPATH}:$PVM_ROOT/man"

If you use sh, add the following lines to your .profile:

    if [ "$MANPATH" = "" ]; then
        MANPATH=/usr/man:/usr/local/man
    fi
    MANPATH="${MANPATH}:$PVM_ROOT/man"
    export MANPATH
