Thanks for the script. I'm the only user of this laptop, so I'll 
probably do it via a $HOME/bin/ directory. I've never made an executable 
file, but I'll have a read up on how to do it.

I have a question or perhaps two (they might be related) - which perhaps 
should be directed to Lawrence, but I'm pretty sure you'll know the 
answer. After running:
:~$ gunzip -c $(man -w bash) | groff -ktman -Tpdf | okular -
the terminal remained open, and when I tried to close it was warned that 
there was still a process running in it, and closing the terminal would 
kill it. Why does that script not end cleanly (if that's the right term)?

Also, at the end, he said:
(Substitution of alternative PDF viewer is left as an exercise for the
reader.)
I tried the $ gunzip... expression he used, but substituting qpdfview 
for okular.

That, however, resulted in qpdfview opening, but with an error message:
"Warning
Could not open '-' "

I was a bit puzzled, but then remembered that when Okular opened with 
the manual text, I tried to save it but couldn't as both "Save" and 
"Save as" were greyed out. I was able to print that manual as "another" 
pdf, and that's what I was referring to in my reply as being much easier 
to use.

Okular is not only a pdf reader, but the properties of that manual 
document refer to it as being a pdf (v 1.4). Why was it not saveable 
directly as a pdf, and what went wrong with the qpdfview command if it 
is a pdf?
