'man' calls 'less', which sets the prompt. From a newer Slackware try this:
man -r "\ Manual\ page\ \$MAN_PN\ ?ltline\ %lt?L/%L.:byte\ %bB?s/%s..?\
(END):?pB %pB\\%.." less
(Note that's all supposed to be on one line.)
The prompt should look like:
Manual page less(1) line 1
...press 'END', then 'HOME', and the prompt should then be something like:
Manual page less(1) line 3/1914 2%
The 'man' prompt can be set from the $MANOPT environmental variable. I'm not
sure how to get the percent without pressing 'END' & 'HOME' though.
HTH...
