They're closely related and often confused. Quartz, I'm interested in getopts with an 's', which is a built-in command. And I think I understand why "man getopts" shows me a largely useless page. Builtin commands might exist for many different shells and the man infrastructure doesn't necessarily know which shell's documentation to display... so it gives just a generic manual. Still leaves me wondering where I am supposed to go for csh's getopts man page. Thank you, Chris
