"man" command made easy?

["john smith" <inquirer23@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

I was just wondering...I don't know if this topic is for this list but...is 
there a book or link somewhere that gives easier examples of how to do the 
correct syntax for "man" something. This probably won't be any problems to 
you unix gurus out there but if I wanted to do something and I do a "man" 
something, I get arcane (at least for me) explanations of how to use 
different options/parameters of that something but not giving me a simple 
example on how to do the command with the options I want correctly and I'd 
spend a lot of time figuring out the correct syntax instead of spending time 
with something else. it would certainly be nice for the "man" pages to 
include a simple example of a  correct command's syntax and how to add 
options etc.. along with the lengthy explanation of all of the available 
commands options. might not be useful to you gurus out there but it 
certainly will help newbies to make the learning curve a little easier?
