Not a good example. You found the man pages, which I found too. Interesting perspective. I presume you navigated directly to 'man/' and didn't bother to explore 'DOCS/'? Is that what you did? tsk tsk! ;-) I'm not sure what you are saying. What I did first was to do <man mplayer> from a terminal. Then I wanted to find more readable documentation, and you know the rest. Why "tsk tsk"? Sorry, I assumed you'd used Konqueror to go exploring that region of your filesystem. You claimed mine wasn't a "good example" when, in fact, it revealed a 'shouting' "DOCS/" directory just begging to be drilled into. ;-)

P.S. Please 'reply to' the list only. I'm already receiving your posts and don't need second copies. Thx!
======= Carl, You bring up a good thought, but not using Konq as a file manager. In the URL box, you can type "man:mplayer" to pull up the html manual for MPlayer easily. Also for many of the KDE programs, you can use "help:/<program name>" to pull stuff. Very helpful and easily bookmarked for later retrieval. I have a separate bookmark heading to store these in.
'#' is a shortcut for man# and ## is a shortcut for info:, as I documented here in a short list of Konq shortcuts: http://linuxbraindump.org/2007/08/31/konqueror-kwickies -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Linux Brain Dump - Linux Notes, HOWTOs and Tutorials: http://www.linuxbraindump.org Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
