And that is all it takes to kill the value. Perhaps I am unusual, but I typically only pull up documentation when I am deep into a problem and need a specific answer. My brain is already full of problem details and I have little left for an interface that requires more than a token amount of navigation effort. Man pages are great this way. Like any documentation, they almost never contain _exactly_ what I need, but they are good enough, and navigation is trivial. Anytime I hit the bottom of a man page and there is a reference to additional detail in an info page, my next step is a search engine. ..Ch:W..
