For example, at first I thought the problem I had was with MH (which involves a ton of reading); then I thought it was with bash (another ton). It just didn't occur to me that the solution was within less, whose manual "page" is itself about 20 reasonably dense pages long. What's needed is a "smart" search engine, i.e., one that's matched to the various documentation resources that exist. Hope springs eternal. Thanks again! Susan Kleinmann [EMAIL PROTECTED]
