that's really cool -- is that a tip? i know i've seen
something like this before but this one works (i put mine in
my ~/.bashrc) and (thanx to my CSASnapshot) has cool syntax
highlighting i'm not used to seeing on man pages
one question: when man has a choice to make as to which group
to show the manpage from you lose the ability to see the
message and make a choice -- apparently man is one of those
utilities that changes behavior when it senses its output is
being sent to a pipe -- anyone have a way around that?
admittedly, most often the one i want to see is the first one,
not the posix one, but sometimes a language specific page is
the one i want to see, like maybe the c++ one for printf
ok never mind -- i just tried
vman 3 printf
and it brought it right up
cool beans Bee, i'll use this -- thanx
