    % whatis combine
    combine (1)          - combine the lines in two files using boolean 
operations

..."combine the lines" can imply that for two lines:

    foo
    bar

...the 'and' result would be:

    foobar

The object of the transitive verb 'combine' is left vague -- are we
combining lines or files?  Files of course.

Suggested revisions, (I couldn't decide on one):

    combine (1)          - combine two text files using boolean operations
    combine (1)          - combine text files using boolean operations
    combine (1)          - combine text files, line by line, using boolean 
operations
    combine (1)          - combine text files by line, using boolean operations
    combine (1)          - combine text files using boolean operations on lines

Hope this helps...
