not really. using '/' to look for what you want to know about makes it
very informative. at least for me. maybe not for some who are not used
to man pages.

actually, only 6;

   sh(1), ksh(1), csh(1), emacs(1), vi(1), readline(3)

of which, 'sh(1)' kicks back to 'man bash'. while ksh(1) and csh(1) do
have one hell of a lot more 'see also'.

first 4 'see also' are manuals and references for readings outside of man.

only if i do not comprehend what i am reading in said man page.
