Why does no one ever hint to 'info bash'? In this case, it's much more convenient than the plain old man page.
That is a matter of opinion. I personally find a nice, linear document presented either in a scrolling viewer or via a pager like "less" to be much more accessible than that idiosyncratic "info" contraption.
Yes, for a short lookup that's the same for me, but things like hyperlinks and a concept index are very handy if you're looking for a more 'fuzzy' feature. I've looked it up and in this case here it makes no difference but it helped me very much with other bash (and libc, binutils, ...) issues. Plus, I prefer emacs ;-) Kolja
