At the very least, we need a way to be able to look at just one particular option of a command. Using searches in more, which the manual is piped to, is unreliable and often awkward due to the lack of standardization of the manual pages. One of the few things I do like about VMS is its HELP command format (even if the on-line information is a little sparse). ______________________________________ The overworked keyboard of Tim Maroney duke!unc!tim (USENET) tim.unc@udel-relay (ARPA) The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
