     _M_a_k_e_m_a_n is a command that creates a template for nroff and
     starts an editor.
     Thus you can prepare a manual page for the ICD account.
     Some fields of the template are automatically filled the
     first time you start this command.

     The argument _s_e_c_t_i_o_n is normally a number in range 1 to 5.
     The argument _m_a_n_u_a_l_n_a_m_e is the name of the manual page, nor-
     mally the name of some program or routine, which you want to
     prepare.  The optional argument _l_o_g_i_n_n_a_m_e is used to search
     for a full user name in the passwd file.  If not found, then
     this _n_a_m_e is taken as specified as the author name.  If this
     argument is omitted the current loginname is used to
     retrieve the full user name.

     _M_a_k_e_m_a_n starts (default) the _v_i editor for you, but you can
     change this default by setting the environment variable
     EDITOR.
     After you have finished the edit session, you can use the
     command _m_a_k_e_c_a_t to format your created manual page (with
     _n_r_o_f_f), and to preview the result.

     Here are some _n_r_o_f_f commands (which can be used):

	     .B "text"	      Boldface text
	     .I "text"	      Underline this text
	     .br	      Force a filling break
	     .nf	      Disables line filling
			      (useful for displays)
	     .fi	      Enables line filling
	     .sp or .PP       Blank line

     Notes: A empty line or a line starting with a space forces
     also a line break.  Use never _t_a_b_s in the nroff file (even
     when the .nf is used).
