Try this: "man <topic> > somefile.txt" That redirects the
output to a standard textfile. Admittedly, you'll probably
need to "clean it up" a bit to get it to where you would
WANT to print it... That's what I did from a telnet session
so I could read up on the "e2fsck" command before going out
the next day to clean up a client's machine. :-) (just had
to make sure I remembered how to do it <G>)
