.SH DESCRIPTION
This command uses the standard Unix man command.  The path for searching man
pages is the ~release/man directory. 

The basic function of manaim is to provide on-line displays of AIM reference 
pages.  The manaim command formats (using Nroff) and displays one or more
specified reference/manual pages.  

For keyword search the 
.IR -k 
option will display one line summary of each command where the string of
keyword is matched by identical strings in the aim/release/man/whatis file.

For filename search the
.IR -F 
option attempts to locate manual pages related to any of the given filenames, 
and then prints one-line summaries containing the resulting names.
This option also uses the whatis database.
 

.SH "EXTENDED OPTION DESCRIPTION"
Manaim command provides help information about the AIM tools and other

.IR file-name,

necessarily help pages.
