Documentation for special-filenames

[Lutz M. <lut...@gm...>]

I just noticed that the help text for “special-filenames” does not describe the use of ‘-‘, ‘’, pipes, or file descriptors. Instead those are all described in the “++” subtopic of “special-filenames”, which seems surprising to me. I am using 5.2.1 installed from MacPorts. Is that a bug in the documentation?

Best,

Lutz

Yeah, I noticed that same thing last week while
trying to find a help section that would answer a request for
support.  I added a new section in the docs for 5.2.2 and 5.3.
