Man pages are fine as long as you have the time to wade through them (even using
grep often doesn't give you what you are looking for). Info pages are awkward to
use and suffer from many of the same problems man pages do. I'm plenty familiar
with man and info, they just don't do what I want in this case.
Thanks for the tips,
Blair.
