Just to chime in, my problem with the bash man page is knowing whether a given 
command is a bash built-in or external command -- if built-in, I'll find 
information within the man page.

I usually first look for a standalone man page, but if I don't find it, it could 
be either because it is a bash built-in or because there is no manpage.
