I was looking for a good man page viewer for X when I started playing with gman and yelp. Upon closer review, I saw that gman was nothing more than a link to yelp.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/bin/which gman /usr/bin/gman [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls /usr/bin/gman -l lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jun 9 20:43 /usr/bin/gman -> yelp However, when I run yelp, I get an application titled "Help Contents - Help Browser" with choices for the Gnome desktop and "Additional Documents" which includes "Manual Pages". Now, if I run gman, the application is titled "Manual Pages - Help Browser" and the choices are for the seven categories of man pages. *BUT*, if I run /usr/bin/gman I get the same thing as if I ran yelp (that makes sense). So, I don't think I am running /usr/bin/gman when I run gman. I do not have an alias set up for gman (I checked by typing just "alias" - that does show ALL aliases in effect, right?) Obviously, gman is sending some arguments to yelp, but I'd like to know how I can do it manually. That was a long way of asking the other thing that I am really trying to figure out, which is, how can I use gman (or yelp) to act like man. That is, I'd like to type "gman ls" and the man page would show up for "ls". Thanks.
