Actually, it would be nice to have man pages for each Ocaml module. It is faster to say: man ocaml-list to check the order of arguments to List.fold_left (newbie, aren't I :-) or the names (if using label mode) than fiddle around with a browser: and doesn't need a mouse. I have the C standard on paper and online. but I often use 'man memcpy' when I forget the order of arguments :-) -- John (Max) Skaller, mailto:skaller@maxtal.com.au 10/1 Toxteth Rd Glebe NSW 2037 Australia voice: 61-2-9660-0850 checkout Vyper http://Vyper.sourceforge.net download Interscript http://Interscript.sourceforge.net ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr.
