Thanks. Looks like you are picking up bash pretty well.

There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any
real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I
am working on things that matter.

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
}
