Command Line Club

Hi,

as I use my 770 as mobile Linux station
would welcome your advice on how to install interactive man pages on 770,
not exactly htmlized version by Lynx but something more sophisticated.
Man pages syntax parser for each Linux command, showing valid options, valid parameters and valid syntax.

My choice is dialog + shell scripts . Source is Linux man pages.
One example to rewrite is Date help

Usage: date [OPTION]... [MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY[.ss]] [+FORMAT]

to be given man pages notation

what options
what parameters
line by line
completed by valid syntax examples.

Project is intended as another Linux for Dummies , for high school students revitalizing 770 devices.

Please let me know your opinion.
Thanks 

Darius
