By now, folks might have figured that RTFM should be answered with
RWFSOM or RWFSOM or MFVDSMASOFM. Give the guy a break and e-mail
suggestions, not flames. Or don't you want to help a fellow user. Phooey.

That's Read Which F Set Of Manuals
            What
My F Vendor Didn't {Sell|Supply|Ship} Me Any Set Of F Manuals

It's UNIX(tm). Sometimes you need to start by reading the Release 5
manual and working forward. If you don't have AllTFMs, then it's
a pain. Again, give slack. Somebody's not a turkey 'cause they ask a
question.
