To mimic "cmd.exe" behavior with eg. "DIRCMD" env. variable
#3
It's for Linux. Probably for MacOS also since it was also based on Unix. With the "current" directory that of QB64PE open it like this:
Code: (Select All)
man -l qb64pe.1

(that's hyphen and lowercase "L" right after it, means use only the filename following, instead of trying to search through the structure in "/usr/share/man", or worse while you're offline it could try to go online to download a page to display it for you...)

It's a lot like QB64 IDE help pages: text files formatted in a way tailored for a program that displays them pretty.

It's not very much anyway for a Windows user, only describes CLI operation. I don't know if MinGW comes with a "man" program, and it should be an option for Cygwin.
