This also works well with "more +2"... to make a self-contained help program
that paginates itself (don't even bother flaming about "more", please):

      #! /usr/ucb/more +2
      For help with UNIX, call the Tek UNIXhelp hotlines: 627-5245 or 629-1630.
      UNIX classes are available at Tek: Call 627-1602 for information.

      The "sysinfo" command will give you a menu of tektools system information.

      The commands:
	      apropos topic		lists commands relevant to the topic
	      man command		shows the manual for a command
