Man-pages are viewed in less by default, to quit less you type 'q' (for quit).
Another useful less function (especially for man-pages), typing '/' lets you 
search the document, eg: "/something" will search the document for 
"something". Then pressing 'n' fill find the next occurrence, and 'shift-n'  
will find the previous.
