    I agree 100% about the crappiness of the "man" command on UNIX.
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).
