Hi...this is a very dumb question but I am at a loss.
man $whatver
returns:
No manual entry for $whatever
Obviously the man pages are sitting in /usr/share/man*
And equally obviously they are gzipped.
I can tap on them in midc and read them.
How do I get man to read them? Am I missing some arcane arg?
Can't find any reference to this in the Handbook or Greg's book.
Thanks much,
Tom
