Thank you for your help. Im not seeing anything in the last man page. I also was just looking at the tail man page. If I tail the file messages and pipe it through a search of my user name I get the info I need (at least it seems that way) but apparently there is an easier way or simpler command. I have reviewed my lesson several times and Im not seeing it. Ill messages her tomorrow if need be. I was trying for some help here because sometimes it starts a discussion and you can learn more from a group of people.

Thanks for your time.

INFO2MAN(1)						      General Commands Manual						       INFO2MAN(1)

NAME
info2man - generate man pages from info documents SYNOPSIS
info2man info-file DESCRIPTION
info2man converts a GNU info file to a man page. It first generates a POD (Plain Old Documentation) file using info2pod(1), then converts this to a man page using pod2man(1). info-file should be the full path to the info file (probably in /usr/share/info or similar). OPTIONS
None. NOTES
The style of info documentation and man pages differs considerably. Info documentation is generally written as a book, making full use of chapters, hyperlinks, footnotes, and the like. By contrast, man pages are often intended as something closer to a reference card. That said, many people prefer the interface used to view man pages (a normal pager) to the available info browsers. This program will con- vert the form, but not the content; don't expect it to possess the artificial intelligence necessary to turn a lengthy interconnected info file into a man page that is a model of conciseness!
