CDE man page viewer

[Darrell Allen]

I know I can specify the man section from command line by using the form: man 1m mount
When I use the man page viewer in CDE on mount I get the man page for mount(2). How can I specify which section I want in the CDE viewer?

Thanks,
Darrell

LOL
funny world .. i was looking for that myself.
Get this .. open a terminal window ..
and type
#dthelpview -man
then a popup box will aprear.
and there you put 2 mount or whatever you want.There is a way to set the man page view to take more arguments but I dont know how. I have already opened up a call with HP and they are going to send me info on that issue. And as soon as they do I will post it for you.

Hi Richard,

Great minds think alike! Unfortunately, in my case it's strictly a coincidence!

That's what I wanted. Thanks for doing the dirty work.
