You might also run catman (on solaris anyway Smilie ) Make sure you have lots of time and some space on the disk for the extra files. Then you can run apropos [keyword] and all the relevent man page subject lines will be displayed. It'll help you when you're not sure of the command. Of course if it's too generic a word, you'll get a whole lot of output Smilie
