If I do "M-x man" followed by "5 netrc" (or any similar section request), GNU Emacs will dutifully inform me that it is "invoking man 5 netrc". It then responds with the fact that there is no manual entry for 5 netrc. This is falicious, as (shell-command "man 5 netrc" nil) will show, at least on my machine. This is probably because the arguments to the process are being passed as one string rather than seperate ones.
