Hi there,

that doesn't work.

Your missing a closing quotation - and grep hasn't been given any conditions.

so,
alias whatever 'man -k -' gives the result of typing man -k searchstring at the prompt.

alias whatever 'man -k - | grep' gives the same result as above - no conditions for grep...

alias whatever 'man -k - | grep /(1' says that there are too many ('s

why?

Hehe - had the slash the wrong way....

alias manf 'man -k !* | grep (1' does the trick.
