attached.  thank you.  but i'm also very happy to do the editing, if
you can provide an example or template to start from.

When I updated the manpages for the $PAGER changes I noticed a few things abo
ut how the manpages are put together that need updating (such as replacing mo
st of the .RS/.RE usage with .TP), so what's there now isn't a good example t
o start from.  I'll do your page first and mail it back, and you can use that
 as the template moving forward.

So I guess this is also a heads-up to everyone that there will be an update t
o most or all of the manpage source files in a couple of days.

It would be great if the manpage rendering could be tested with mandoc:
http://mdocml.bsd.lv

This is the default manpage rendering program for OpenBSD, NetBSD, Minix, and
DragonFly BSD. It also has a lint mode useful for checking syntax. Right now
the nmh manpages leave something to be desired from a syntax perspective.
