+This directory contains the bash documentation.
+
+FAQ		- a set of frequently-asked questions about Bash with answers
+INTRO		- a short introduction to bash
+article.ms	- an article I wrote about bash for The Linux Journal
+bash.1		- the bash man page
+builtins.1	- a man page that documents the builtins, extracted from bash.1
+bashref.texi	- the `bash reference manual'
+bashref.info	- the `bash reference manual' processed by `makeinfo'
+readline.3	- the readline man page
+
+The `.ps' files are postscript versions of the above.  The `.html'
+files are HTML versions of the man page and reference manual.  The
+`.0' files are formatted manual pages.  The `.txt' versions are
+ascii -- the output of `groff -Tascii'.
+
+The rest of this file explains how to use the `builtins.1' man page.
+
+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.
