Nice to know but sadly, another cool feature I just can't use.  I use the
shell 90% of the time from my Windows XP desktop at work.  I suppose I
could use remote X but that is a lot of overhead just to read info
pages...

The infotoman converter seems to be the best solution for me.  Thanks for
that tidbit Cameron.
