On-line manual references to environment variables

[R. Curtis Jackson]

The good folks who wrote esh, if you have never had occasion to see
it or its documentation, allow the user to set single-letter
shell variables and then bring the contents of those variables
onto the command line with <esc>x, where x is the single-character
name of a shell variable.  GREAT stuff, and VERY useful; I am very
sure and not being sarcastic.

HOWEVER, if you try to do something stupid like 'man tail' or
'uuto file grock!foo', you will get the strangest messages!!
It seems that man and uuto are shells which utilize several
single-character variables each........

*sigh*, what will they think of next?
