The FreeBSD man pages are online as well, if it helps....

Its possible that this shell comes from "ash", and I've just never heard
it called that? I'm certainly no expert. :) The FreeBSD project refers
to it as "sh", or "Bourne Shell".
On the topic of man pages (see how smoothly I worked that in?), the man
page for lp5250d is still describing the command-line-switch syntax,
instead of the ~/.tn5250rc type of config that it has been using since
July... It would be much appreciated if you could update that... :)
