I think that is a terrible idea. Historically the tcsh(1) man page was like this: only document the extensions to csh, point to csh(1) for the rest. This only makes sense for people who already fully know the base man page. If you don't, you now have to go back and forth between two man pages to figure out things. Eventually, the tcsh man page was overhauled and now describes the whole shell, which was a huge improvement in my book. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de
