This exact same script does not work for me.  Neither Lynx nor Links will
display a page (something like "it's not a valid manpage").  Could the
problme be with "find"?  Did you install the full version of "find" on
your system, Steven?  I haven't.  I recalled some problem with the "find"
command in BL in another recent discussion and was wondering if the
busybox version BL apparently uses is where the problem lies.
