Hi,
After a little discussion on IRC, Alex decided to change the doc/refC.html so
that the two lines (43, 44) in doc/rlook.html were no longer needed. Now (doc
'caar), (doc 'cadr) and friends will also work. (doc 'NIL), however, was
considered not interesting enough to bother with. I can agree.

Hi,
In August, Christophe pointed at some problems with looking up functions like
'caar' and 'cadr' in the docs.

I fixed the problem in doc/rlook.html by adding a couple of lines (43, 44).
Now I see there are similar problems when doing (doc 'caar) and (doc 'cadr),
and also (doc 'NIL).
In rlook.html, lookup on variants of 'caar' points you to doc/refC.html#cXr,
and lookup on NIL points to doc/ref.html#nilSym. It shouldn’t be too hard to
achieve the same for the (doc 'sym) function.
I also had to try (doc 'sym), e.g. (doc 'doc), in ersatz, but there I got
0:38: execution error: Bad name for file. some object (-37)
I’m not sure what it takes to fix that.
The reason why (doc 'sym) works at all on my Mac (I was surprised it still
did), is that an environment variable BROWSER is set to openurl.sh (without
the quotes), and I have a file ~/script/openurl.sh containing this:
#!/bin/sh
osascript -e open location \$1\
