I agree with that but I would add that, as a newbie unix user many
moons ago, I was surprised to not find a manual page for some
"commands" I could run which turned out to be documented in the
manpage of my shell. If 'man jobs' shows me the manpage for a shell
different from mine, I'll take that as a hint to look up the "command"
in the manpage of my own shell.
