Is this for your self enlightenment, or are you in a position to make
changes to the man pages as released with the install? I have all ready
received a acceptable answer to my question. I stated my position on this
subject and unless you can get things changed it ends here.

###Begin excerpt from hosts.5 :
The hosts file contains information regarding the known hosts on the
net-
work. For each host a single line should be present with the following
information:
Internet address
official host name
aliases
Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters. A
``#'' indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of
the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file.
###End excerpt
