[NTLUG:Discuss] let me try that again - time

[Darin W. Smith]

Oh wow, holy cow!  Mine does have all that.  I just saw the SEE ALSO and 
instinctively hit 'q' to leave the man page instead of paging down.  If you 
ask me, it is a rather silly-formatted man page.  It has two SEE ALSO 
sections.  I suppose they seperated out the "GNU VERSION" info below the 
first one so that you initially get a nice summary of the bash builtin.  
Then, you have to page down to get the rest of the options, not listed 
under OPTIONS, but under GNU OPTIONS.  Geez...
