Hnmm. Thinking of man pages, I was thinking of writing a "mman" or "meta
man". That will search /usr/share/* for a matching document and run the
approprimate document viewer (info, lynx, ghostview, etc). Comments?

"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely  exercised for the good of its victims  
 may be the most  oppressive.  It may be better to live under  robber barons  
 than  under  omnipotent  moral busybodies,  The robber baron's  cruelty may  
 sometimes sleep,  his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who  
 torment us for own good  will torment us  without end,  for they do so with 
 the approval of their own conscience."    -   C.S. Lewis, _God in the Dock_
