Whether the : procedure consists of infoking some info reader or just using man is : unimportant - but it has to be the *same* for all commands. I.e. man foo. Uh, manpages *are* quick references, info isn't, so what's your gripe? And, if you think that info's not consistent, take a look at Solaris and it's Answerbooks. They're based on Display Postscript, so you have to be *on* a Solaris box in order to use them. Totally brain-dead. -jack-
