  I've note many builtin functions for csh(1) and sh(1) 
  have no apropos(1) or whatis(1). 

  Especially annoying are 'limit' and 'unlimit'. 

  Require people to become experts in shell 
  scripting seems excessive. Remembering 
  all the builtins is dumb. That is what 
  I have a computer for... I don't want 
  to remember certain things. 

  What is the policy for 'builtin' shell functions?
