+;;; man-addons.el - some helpful additions for browsing man pages.
+;;;
+;;; Copyright (c) 1998-2001 Karl M. Hegbloom <karlheg@hegbloom.net>
+;;; Released under the terms of the GPL version >= 2.0
+;;;
+;;; See: /usr/share/common-licences/GPL-2
+;;;
+;;; The usual instructions apply...  Place this file in a directory on
+;;; your `load-path' and then add (require 'man-addons) to your
+;;; `user-init-file'.
+;;;
+;;; This is tested in XEmacs 21 with both the native XEmacs man.el and
+;;; one I ported from GNU Emacs.  I hope it works equally well for GNU
+;;; Emacs users.
+;;;
+;;; After loading this file, when you have man page source files
+;;; visible from a `dired' buffer, you can push `l' when the cursor is
+;;; over them, and preview the page in man mode.  I find this very
+;;; helpful while editting manual pages!
