I think it's basically a "man" question. I also think scrolling using a pager is preferable over using a terminal emulator to scroll; mostly because you can search in the pager. Finally let me remark that I started using UNIX on a 9600 baud serial terminal with no scrollback, and as the pager was more or pg (not less), you could not go back at all...

yes, I tried h for help. When issueing man usermod I can use bor k for navigating inside the page, but that wasn't the question. The whole content of the man page should retain in the window for further reading. The answer of @Vilinkameni helped me finding a solution for that. Now I know that a pager is involved when using man and that I can also select between different types of these pagers while viewing man pages. Should I remove the tags bash and putty? I thought it could be helpful for others.

Is this question really related to putty and bash? I also wonder if you tried man man. It's also unclear what the actual question is: Assuming that today's UNIX uses less for paging: Did you try b to go back one page, or k to go back one line (or h for help)?
