However, since these are hardlinked to the same csh(1) manpage, they will not show up in apropos as long as the brief description of csh(1) appears as such. But you are right, that there are no hacked files to make dummy entries in the whatis database like there is for bash(1). Feel free to make a dummy page like bash's if it bothers you. -- Crist J.
