This is especially valuable - is it in the FAQ? I didn't see it in my .ps
copy (I avoid html files because I have difficulty reading them).

3) Yes, I am aware of, and use, the "man" info (although it hadn't occurred
to me to use "man man"), but as someone pointed out, it is usually the
wrong direction since you want to know WHAT can do this more often than
what can THIS do!

Well, it meant that back when we were pecking at ASR33's, but it's a shame
