- The version of 'man' in lemacs-19.2 doesn't seem to work very well for
- me.
-
- I don't set a MANPATH - I use the Perl version of 'man' that
- interpolates the manpath from my PATH. I keep my man pages compressed
- and I never have any 'cat' pages.
-
- Man never finds anything. I'm single-stepping now to find out why, but
- perhaps someone already knows the answer.
-
- Has anyone considered doing something along the lines of the ``man in
- the background'' part of the Tektronix hacks for Epoch?
