On second thought, this paragraph from the bash man page suggests that
the Wiki should be changed:
=====
There is no mechanism for using arguments in the replacement text. If
arguments are needed, a shell function should be used (see FUNCTIONS
below).
=====
So... I guess....
function manp () { man -t $* | open -f -a Skim; }
or just...
manp () { man -t $* | open -f -a Skim; }
Maybe you could put that line as well as the CSH line in the Wiki.
