Would it be useful to have man pages for built-ins, but make those man pages disambiguation pages that explain that the command in question is a shell built-in command, and how to find the relevant info on the respective shell's main man page? Another idea would be to make man look at $SHELL and serve up a relevant man page on that basis. This would require adding that logic to man though. regards, --ropers
