I also noticed that if you want to get the manpage, you will be hurt by the interactivity of 'man' (it uses less for paging) One way to get the whole manpage as text without paging is to do:
man -P /bin/cat So you won't have to do strange stuff in stdin to get it to give you the whole text. Hugo _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
