You can pass a section argument to man. For example, 'man 3ssl err' would see err.3ssl but not err.3. Being consistent with Apple is probably a good idea regardless. You can also pass a specific path to man, but that requires knowing it, but you can learn that with 'man -w'. Not particularly elegant solution. Best is 'man -a err', which displays each err.* manpage (not just the first that it finds). dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
