Re: [newbie] Rant: The man pages

[robin]

Rather than directing a newbie to the man page, it's often better to 
recommend the info page.  OK, sometimes there is no info page and 
sometimes it's identical to the man page, but frequently they have more 
explanation and, most usefully, example commands. 

Later, of course, we'll be able to just type RTFT (Read The Fine Twiki) ;-)

moment they may sting you.
