Thanks for sending me the sh man page Paul (Beard) - unfortunately
it was
corrupted, with strange formatting and characters. This looks
similar to
when I have tried to pipe a manpage to a file, e.g.
# man sh > ~/sh.txt
Try more sh.txt
Ummm, r u [sh]ure?
#man sh > more sh.man.txt
Formatting page, please wait...Done.
No manual entry for sh.man.txt
No, I am saying if you pipe the output of man sh to a file you will need to
use more or less to view it because of the bold formatting, etc.
Right?
So, feed it through col. If you do
man man | col -b
You don't have the bold stuff.

OK, I'm a dumb shell scripter anyway, try this:
#man sh > more ~./sh.man.txt
Unknown user: ..
Hmmm, maybe csh is as brain dead as they say:
#sh
$ man sh > more sh.txt
No manual entry for sh.txt
And, just to make sure I didn't misunderstand
your post:
$more sh.txt
sh.txt: No such file or directory
Maybe Paul Beard would send us his
groff-troff magic, and end my curiosity here....
