MAN

Online help facility for SUPREM-IV.

SYNOPSIS

man [ command_name ]

DESCRIPTION

man examines the command name and attempts to find a manual page for that command. The manual pages are piped through more(1) for user viewing.

Manual pages live in the man subdirectory of the home directory of SUPREM-IV. The first location checked for manual pages is that given by the environment variable MANDIR. If this fails, it checks in a default location defined in the program. The system administrator should have set this for your system.

BUGS

The pipe to the more program is slow, ways to speed this and still make use of the more program need to be investigated. The man command also needs to have the exact name typed out or no help will be printed. This behavior is a little restrictive.
