Hello all:
I got kind of tired of messing with my client and it's weird issues with
manpages, cutting off the top when I page with the pager, etc etc. So, I
give you ed2man (which should actually be man2ed, but I'm already stuck
on writing e2m.
Just pop this in your .bashrc file and you should be set, enjoy!
function e2m
{
if [ $# -ne 1 ];then
echo "Syntax: e2m <manpage>"
return
fi
tmpfile=$(mktemp)
if ! man "$1"> "$tmpfile";then
rm -rf "$tmpfile"
else
ed "$tmpfile"
rm -rf $tmpfile
fi
}

Take care,
Ty
