Ok, SET OPTIONS is written as `.Sh SET OPTIONS` , and yes I did not understand that SET was the command, not why the sections was named like that . At first I just enter option=value in the .exrc file '-_- Nevertheless this is still less easy as you cannot search '/set' in the man because of the se[t] and the fact that set is very common word. Looking for OPTIONS ( not options ) should reveal the link between the two IMHO. -Display or set editor options. + Display or + .Sx SET OPTIONS + of the editor. And your text change really does not hurt . Best.
