All the 'nix's I'm aware of, with the exception of AIX, have an

Yes, I'm familiar with man pages. (Though, I didn't realize that AIX doesn't have them!)



As Dennis specifically refers to the "man page", he is obviously talking
about some other system.


I can see how you'd think that -- and considering that Dennis has already stated that he was using a man page on another system, I'd say you're right.

But my initial thought was that he was looking in the manual for QShell, since he was (after all) discussing the QShell variant of the commands. Obviously I'm stupid for thinking that.
