| Anyone know why [local man pages don't have descriptive titles]?

Open a shell window and do an ixbuild -g in /usr/local/man.  The -g switch  
tells ixbuild to automatically create descriptive titles from the  
documents.  Why this option wasn't included in DL is beyond me.

Doing a manual ixbuild -g is also useful to get back descriptions for  
NeXTanswers.
