Probably the easiest way to make that connection for the user is to add a one-line manpage for each of loadrt, addf, setp, net, etc, along the lines of ".so filename", as described in ""man zsoelim". I don't have LinuxCNC manpages on this host, but can demonstrate with another manpage and a fictitious new one, "fred". The manpage file for gawk is: $ man -w gawk /usr/share/man/man1/gawk.1.gz so to redirect the new one to it: # echo .so man1/gawk.1.gz > /usr/share/man/man1/fred.1 Now: $ man fred throws up the gawk manpage. I'm fast catching up with Gene apropos forgettery skills, so might just whack them in on the other host. (So long as I remember to do that.) And, yes, I have the "mandb" manpage database gumpf here¹ too: $ file /var/cache/man/index.db /var/cache/man/index.db: GNU dbm 1.x or ndbm database, little endian But man is clever enough to snuffle about if what you ask for isn't in there.

Instead, global greenhouse gases have risen around 58 per cent in that time. - http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-12-08/troubled-un-climate-talks-spill-over/4416696 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
