One could over-print all the pages onto one page. man -t bash | pstops 100:0$(printf '+%d' {1..99}) >one.ps to get a feel of where things can appear. For me, that shows a `c' appearing above the main block of text due to the entry after `menu-complete' in `Completing' thanks to a mark-up error. $ zcat /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.gz | > g -w 'menu.*complete.*backward' .B menu\-complete-\backward $ Cheers, Ralph.
