Oh yeah, one thing in *case* this is the problem.

Problem:
$ man blah-blah-blah
man: command not found

Solution:
The 'man' command is usually in /usr/bin, so 'echo $PATH' should show you that /usr/bin is in there.

$ echo $PATH
PATH_GOES_HERE:/usr/bin

If that's the case, you have no man! (sorry to hear that, hyuck hyuck). It would have to be installed.

If you don't have /usr/bin in your path (as stated generally in /etc/PATH), then this will temporarily fix it (until you log out):

$ PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin && export PATH

This will put /usr/bin at the end of your path and now you should have 'man' usages. The 'export' command allows any shell you invoke or anything that reads in your variables defined in 'env' to use them.

Problem:
If you get things like 'No manual entry for (very common command like ls, grep, awk, etc), check the following:

$ echo $MANPATH
(should be a long string here)

If not, you need to check /etc/MANPATH (HP/RH have these) or wherever your manpage variable is set.

Just thought I'd add these on, cuz I know I was stumped when I couldn't do 'man man' hehe....
