10.3: Easily view man pages with Preview
Authored by: Jarin on Nov 02, '03 06:41:35PM

For those of us with the Panther developer tools installed, an even nicer way of viewing man pages is to open Xcode, and select "Open man page..." from the Help menu. In addition to formatting the page, Xcode renders links into it, so you can jump to other sections or man pages. This feature is nice, but it's not hidden, so I'm surprised I haven't heard mention of it yet.

10.3: Easily view man pages with Preview
Authored by: aranor on Nov 02, '03 07:54:58PM

I just looked through the AS dictionary and I can't find any way of showing a man page using an AppleScript. Even if you try open file manpage it will just open the manpage file as a text file rather than a manpage.

Anybody see an AS command that I missed that would let you open a manpage from AS?
