What were you trying to do?
	Find documentation for the "lineeditmin" and "stack_hack"
	shell veriables in tcsh.  Both of these variables can
	obviously be seen to affect the operation of tcsh by examining
	the tcsh sources.

What's wrong:
	The man page for tcsh makes no mention of either of these two
	variables.


What should have happened:
	The man page should describe how lineeditmin should be set to
	the minimum line length that will be displayed when scrolling
	through commands with ^N/^P, and how stack_hack, when set,
	allows the user to use "=n" syntax to access the n'th
	directory in the directory stack.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	/usr/man/man1/tcsh.1
