Ummm, r u [sh]ure?

#man sh > more sh.man.txt
Formatting page, please wait...Done.
No manual entry for sh.man.txt

OK, I'm a dumb shell scripter anyway, try this:

#man sh > more ~./sh.man.txt
Unknown user: ..

Hmmm, maybe csh is as brain dead as they say:

#sh

$ man sh > more sh.txt
No manual entry for sh.txt

And, just to make sure I didn't misunderstand
your post:

$more sh.txt
sh.txt: No such file or directory

Maybe Paul Beard would send us his
groff-troff magic, and end my curiosity here....
