To Jim:
Thank you for your tip: man osacompile. I prefer the URL because I can print easilly the data from there:
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/osacompile.1.html
The printing result is far better that what one can think using: man osacompile >OSACompile.txt

I actually use

do shell script "/usr/bin/man -t \"" & myCommand & "\" | /usr/bin/pstopdf -i -o " & manFilePath

for the command myCommand (e.g. osacompile) to create a PDF version of the man page at manFilePath and collect these man pages at an appropriate place. This is actually part of a small applescript that allows for the entry of the name of the command and opens the result in Preview.

Best

Thomas
