I also don't understand what the point of appending loads of man pages into a text file is?!
Surely scanning through a huge file for the command your interested in is far slower than just running "man mycommand" anyway??
The man page itself has nothing to do with the shell (except for the manual pages for shells, of course
). They will vary across Unix flavours, however, in both layout and content, as most commands differ slightly (or hugely) in terms of syntax and functionality across flavours.
