[plug] n00b man Question

[senectus]

Uh.. I think it's a bash shell (#) I'll test it tonight when I get home.. 

\bugbear complaint
How are n00bs meant to RTFM if they don't know how to open and use the
manual program in the first place. (that and man doco's are rarely easy to
read..)

Try again Bill.  That refers to the man page in section 12 - no such thing.

senectus does not say what is being used to access the man pages.  If a
console then space or page down.  If emacs shell, LOL.  It does not handle
man pages or less well at all.
