FYI - you can read pages in a section with: man [section] [keyword] You'll notice that the whatis command gave you a list of manpages - to look at manpages in different sections with the same title (like those intro pages), you would use: man 4 intro man 3 intro etc. -- Steve Tremblett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
