System name:		CALIBAN
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.0F
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	See the manual page for random(3) via sman.

What's wrong:
	It kept giving me the page for random(3F).  Both when I did a
straight search, and when I went to the "subroutines" section and did a
search. (I did eventually find the correct manual page by looking at the
directory of subroutines.)

What should have happened:
	It should either offer you your choice of 3 or 3f routines with
the same name, or else give the C routine as the default.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	man xman
