Don't worry man, I remember a while back a few of us ranting about how unhelpful man pages could be, reminiscing back to when we first tried to figure out what cat was for by reading the man page. Fact is, Mike H. doesn't even use a man page before reading the source code first. Nobody really expects that of you. :-) Bryan -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
