Wouldn't it be great if there were some sort of "man -r" flag, so that the user could [remotely] read either the latest manpage (from an ftp server) or a manpage for a binary he or she does not have installed? This would be similar to the "pkg_add -r" ideology. Stretching this one step further, "man -www command_here" would attempt to obtain a list of URLs and references that best pertain to "command_here!" -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
