Hi, Gene. I'm not sure if I'm understanding correctly, but.. I do this
(am using the LILO package as an example):
man lilo > manLILO
I just tested it to make sure first. Mine here looks exactly like the
terminal version when that manLILO file is viewed in Mousepad (XFE4's
text editor). That still prints all the useful "SEE ALSO", last date
edited, and e.g. "LILO(8) leads that appear at the bottom, too.
Others here sometimes do something a little fancier than only that ">"
(greater than sign), but I can't remember what it is nor if it applies
to something as straight forward as this one.
