What was
the new chat time on Thursdays? Last stated was 3pm Eastern, but then you asked
for any takers at 2pm Eastern. I abstained, and no one else spoke up, so I'm
assuming it was finally changed to 3pm Eastern.
I intend to
hang out in the chat room all day from now on.
/s.

After reviewing this, I now see what you're saying. The problem is that
the second part of some command names should really have been the
subcommand name.
For example:
ns_returnadminnotice
should really have been:
ns_return adminnotice
In the same way,
ns_sockopen
should really be
ns_sock open
Were this the case, it would be obvious to look up 'man ns_sock' and
'man ns_return'. In these cases, I take back what I said -- I suppose
they should be on the same man page.
Thus, it appears the AOLserver Tcl Dev Guide is inconsistent --
ns_sockopen, ns_socklisten and the other ns_sock* command should have
been on the same page together, like ns_return*, but they aren't. Maybe
that's because the functionality or passed args are essentially the same
for ns_return*, but different for ns_sock*.

Ironically Jim and I were just discussing changing the nsv_* commands to be something like ns_svar <cmd>. Keeping the current nsv_* commands for backward compatibility of course! ;-) I think we should concentrate on documenting the files as they exist in $TOP/aolserver/doc and can revisit single vs. multiple commands per file when we turn our attention towards the 4.0 documentation work.
