There is no terminal emulation built in to any of the GUI ports of Vim
(including MacVim) so commands like ":!less", ":!man" etc do not work that
well. If your workflow relies on interactive terminal capabilities then you
should run Vim in a terminal (without the GUI).
It sounds like this is the problem you are running in to, but please correct me
if I am wrong.

Thanks for your reply. I only just started using macvim (and vim) yesterday so
I did not know this. Yes, it sounds like I should be running vim in the
terminal. Despite the complete lack of familiarity with vim, for some reason I
really feel at home with it!
Thanks

No worries. If you have any more questions you can bring them up on the
vim_use Google group, or vim_mac in case you have a question that is specific
to Vim on the Mac.

Thanks. I certainly will. In fact, I have found a trick to let me stay with
macvim: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Display_output_of_shell_commands_in_new_window
The idea is to open the terminal window in a scratch buffer.
