    When I need docs I do

    `man command'

    When I pressed F1 in a gui program it did the following

    * Request a helper running in my DE to parse a html page
    * Ask the helper to open my default html parser
    * __Without asking me__ the helper opened a __massive browser__ ravaging ram just to show me what I could find with
    `man command`
    * I wonder why instead the Ui program did not do the following

    * request a helper open a (ba)sh
    * parse >man command to the helper
    * have the helper display the manpage in the sh

    The results would be
    * Much less resources used
    * No assumption on my current internet connection would be made
    * That method has worked for 60 years

    <IRC>
    /m shakes head and looks at the massive browser showing the equivalence of a manpage
