    I get command not found with both of the above but do find humor in many of the associations between unix/linux commands and their respective manual pages...

    It seems rather odd to me that for "man woman" you get No manual entry for woman, but enter "man man" and you get an entire manual!

    Oz, I,m suprised by that since you are married. You know the manual for woman changes every 30 days for years. That is faster than a Firefox update schedule.
