							|  |  |  | ascii -- the output of `groff -Tascii'. |

							|  |  |  | For each command in the list of builtins create a file in man/man1 called: | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ${command}.1 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | eg. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | for.1 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | type.1 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | alias.1 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | etc. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | All these files are identical as follows: | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | jaws@jaws(264)$ cat alias.1 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | .so man1/builtins.1 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | jaws@jaws(265)$  | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | Make sure you adjust the .so line in builtins.1 to reflect where you | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | put it. |
