(The PATH export isn't strictly needed, as it's already exported.)
I like to declare my exports first; I think this is a matter of taste.
I also had a typo in my export line; the "$" shouldn't be there.
More to the point, however, I shouldn't be messing with $MANPATH at all.
The manpath(1) mechanism will look in /usr/X11R6/man if /usr/X11R6/bin
is in $PATH.
SL>Describe open_X11.
Describe it? I've never even heard of it (and neither has Google).
Help?
From the FAQ:
Q: How do I run X applications from a Terminal window?
A: You can use the /usr/bin/open-x11 script to launch X
applications from Terminal.
Oh, you meant "open-x11" (:-). I have put in a section about that,
thanks! ^
