If $ type -a <command> says "Internal command" then $ help <command> usually tells more. Though you might find it easier to find relevant parts of the text by using less's "/" key to search for interesting text in the _man_ pages (this works in the info pages too, but is less succesful IMO) /Hannu E K Nevalainen, B.Sc.
