By the way, one more ...
If I do "M-x man" followed by "5 netrc" (or any similar section
request), GNU Emacs will dutifully inform me that it is "invoking man
5 netrc". It then responds with the fact that there is no manual
entry for 5 netrc. This is falicious, as
(shell-command "man 5 netrc" nil)
will show, at least on my machine.
This is probably because the arguments to the process are being passed
as one string rather than seperate ones.
The details:
GNU Emacs 18.50.2 of Sun Oct 30 1988 on imagine.pawl.rpi.edu
