Now that I think about it, I think Randy's problem may have been caused by some
advice I gave him over the phone.  I told him to install the A and AP series but
since he was low on disk space to forget about the F series because that's just
the FAQ's and HOWTO's, right?  Actually, I think the F series also contains the
man pages.  The actual man program got installed from one of the first two series
but the actual pages did not and that is the problem... at least I believe that
is the problem.
