   Hi!

   What should the 'type' command display ?
   When I do 'type -all man' I get
   man is aliased to `bman'
   man is ./man
	  ^^^^^
   This is a directory and shouldn't be displayed according to the 
   documentation of 'type'. The 'help type' says:

       If the -all flag is used, displays all of the places that contain an
       executable named `file'.  This includes aliases and functions, if and
       only if the -path flag is not also used.

   Is this correct?

I believe it does this because the execute bit is set on directories. This
could/sould be corrected by checking for the directory bit, but apparently is
not (patch?)
