That was a great developer reference!

If you are looking at ways to search and read man pages easily, take a look at manOpen.   I found in on versiontracker and it is awesome!  Allows you to search all man pages for specific keywords in the title of the man pages.

I've got to contact pdftk about making a front end, but if I get the OK, then I will pass on the freeware app to anyone who is interested.

certain punctuation — parentheses, $, *, etc.

Q: I need to put double quotes and backslashes in my shell

command, but AppleScript gives me a syntax error when I try.

Q: I have an AppleScript file or alias object; how do I pass it

to a shell command?

Q: POSIX path doesn't work right if the file has certain

characters in its name — spaces, parentheses, $, *, etc.
