Peter, another dumb question:
what is the significance of the (1) ?
It's a reference to the man system of manual pages. (1) means it's in section 1 of the manual (executable programs or shell commands). It's a reasonable way to, for eg, differentiate between crontab(1) the program for editing cron files, and crontab(5), which describes the cron file format. You'd run "man 1 crontab" and "man 5 crontab" to access those pages respectively.
The manual section is also displayed in the output from apropos.
