To: zsh-users@zsh.org Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="94eb2c0d99d211d6830555daa7d0" --94eb2c0d99d211d6830555daa7d0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hi, Sorry if I missed this in the documentation, but so far I have been unable to find what I'm looking for. Google doesn't always find things either. First, thanks for the fact that zsh is very version conscious. This makes it very easy to test a particular build of zsh. Not all distributions take advantage of this, but that's something to take up with the distribution. I just wish more applications would take this approach. I digress. With the fact that the configure script has the option "mandir=" I assumed(bad thing to do) that there would be an easy way to discover where the man pages were saved. If there is, so far I haven't found it. My reasoning for this is, if I'm testing a particular build, I would like to have available the pages for that build if they exist. I assumed(I know) that is why "mandir" is there, to make this possible. Is there a variable of something else that can be accessed to tell someone where a particular zsh build saved the man pages? If not, would it be unreasonable to ask that a variable like "mandir" be set with the path to those man pages? This would make it so much easier to set MANPATH. For me it would even be better if zsh automatically added a path to them before the normal locations. I'm sure others would disagree. An option allowing such behaviour would allow a user to set this to meet there own needs. Again, if I missed this in the documentation, sorry for the noise. Sincerely, Jim --94eb2c0d99d211d6830555daa7d0--
