I'm trying to isolate the X commands man pages by appending an X to the man
file (eg. xterm.1X). According the to the man man page this should work (and
we do have man files ending in v and g that man can find.). But when
I do this man can no longer find the file. Is there something else that needs
to be changed? Or are there a few suffixes hard-coded into man? Thanks
