Did you download Bwana? You have to download it first before anything will happen. It *is* the handler for 'man:' URLs. Then you can type "man:man" in Safari or "open man:man" in the terminal (or use the shell script above...).

Ah, OK. I misunderstood. I thought the advice meant that Bwana wasn't needed. Thanks for clearing that up for me!

That's one problem. Also, at least on my system, it replaces the currently open web page with the manpage -- which, usually, is not what I want, since I may want to leave the currently open web page open. The script opens a new tab for it. |
