Mostly now I use my computer to do stuff, use applications, not script or program. often I need to use some command and I have not used it for months. I know there was some unique arguments that will get me what I need. many commands have dozens and dozens of arguments. So my latest now is when I come up with a good cammand argument for a specific task, If I have a text.man page, I add that command line to the top of the command.man text. In the particular case of chrome the command has single quote and in tcsh often passing a single quote building a command is interesting. So I prefer the simpler single line. On this system I have ~/MANPAGE.u16.6 I create command.txt files by.... man tcsh \|col -b > ~/MANPAGE.u16.6/tcsh.man
