On-line manual references to environment variables

[Dave Sherman]

Since time immemorial, UNIX manual pages have had a "FILES" section
which summarized, in one easily found spot, what files a program uses.

I would like to see a simlar "VARIABLES" section. A complicated
program (take readnews or sh, for example) uses many environment variables.
It would be nice if every UNIX manual page had a brief summary, at
the end, of all of the environment variables which the program looks
at.

Anybody listening out there at Bell or Berkeley?
