The older I get the happier I am to be using ksh. But I do find I get increasingly impatient with the man page. ksh isn't just a shell any more; it's a full-blown programming language, and having all the documentation on one man page is a bit much. I am *not* advocating for a web page or an info document or for PDF; I love my command line and get annoyed when software doesn't have man pages. But I also think some attention to modular reasoning would pay dividends. Normally I have nothing good to say about perl, but it is a case where I think they have done a good job taking a large programming language and splitting its documentation over multiple man pages.
I am wondering how Dave and Glenn would feel about having ksh.1 split over multiple man pages and if there might be any readers of this list who would be interested in helping with such a job?
