 On Sun, Jul 20, 2003 at 11:37:33AM -0500 I heard the voice of
 Larry Rosenman, and lo! it spake thus:
 > 
 > >Description:
 > My UnixWare (System V Release 5) system allows -n # to be used for
 > the last command, and I find it annoying that the FreeBSD version
 > doesn't accept this. 
 > 
 > The Patch below will allow both. 
 > 
 > Unfortunately, I'm not a mdoc person, so I did NOT do a man page
 > patch, as I'm not familiar enough with it.  If a doc person could
 > point me to the appropriate doc, or make the change, I'd appreciate it.
