BTW, the man pages are a bit \- happy, using it where a normal hyphen is needed between words, e.g.
So exactly when should one use '-', and when should one use \-? I know, one is a hypen, and one is an minus, but that's not exactly helpful. The convention seems to be \- is used as the prefix to switches, for example, but why? --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
