How about a simple `man' command?  Maybe driven off a text file which
could be sent to the printer to make your own hardcopy if needed.

This would a) not really cost much (except diskspace), b) be better
than nothing, and c) give you some type of online documentation which
I prefer to non-ringbound stuff at least.

I heard someone was/is doing this.  Any info out there?
