done

I'll leave you to create the function...

NAME

       sysman_intro - Introduction of SysMan applications

DESCRIPTION

       SysMan  is  a  suite of applications for managing Tru64 UNIX systems. The SysMan applications provide a simple, easy to use, graphical user
       interface (GUI) for common system management tasks including installation and configuration.

       When you follow the installation instructions in the Installation Guide, the installation GUI, Installation Setup, is  displayed  automati-
       cally.

       To  help  you prepare the system for general use, the Tru64 UNIX: System Setup checklist is displayed when you log in as root for the first
       time after performing an installation.

       SysMan applications and help are available from the Application Manager (tool drawer) icon on the CDE  front  panel,  or  from  the  SysMan
       Applications panel above the SysMan Station icon on the root CDE window.

       For  additional	information, see the Welcome to SysMan help volume by performing the following procedure: Click on the Application Manager
       icon (the file drawer) on the CDE front panel.  Double click on the System_Admin application group icon.  Double click on  the  Welcome	to
       SysMan icon.

       If  you	are  not  running CDE, but have installed it, you can open the Welcome to Sysman help volume by entering the following sequence of
       commands at the command line: /bin/sh PATH=$PATH:/usr/dt/bin export PATH DTHELPSEARCHPATH=/usr/dt/appconfig/help/C/%H export  DTHELPSEARCH-
       PATH DTUSERSESSION=${USER}-`uname -n`-0 export DTUSERSESSION dthelpgen -dir $HOME/.dt/help/$DTUSERSESSION dthelpview -helpVolume browser
