If the MANPATH variable is used, it is the only list of paths searched. By default it has no value. To determine the default manpath, you can use the manpath command before MANPATH has a value. You simply include the default directories in your MANPATH variable using export MANPATH=$(manpath 2>/dev/null):/mydir1/man:/mydir2/man This is for bash. Other shells are left as an exercise to the reader ;) Eric Meijer -- E.L.
