hi, i just read the (sub)thread above on man v. info and i thought it is much more important than to have it hidden in there. So i thought i try to pick it up again.
The major sources of help/information for me are the apropos, the -h/--help options and the man pages. These are fast and efficient means to find what i want most of the time. As far as info is concerned, i fully agree with Karsten. It doesn't work intuitively for me either; i just get lost in the maze of links and 3 sentence pages.... I hate it for this. The lack of manpages, and outdated manpages are frustrating. And what Karsten brought up is also a nice idea: to have examples in man pages. There are some manpages with examples but most of them are without although they are really helpful. It would be nice to know how other people think about this and if there is sufficient interest to also talk about what should/could be done to change this. Best, imre
