ah, good point.  i'll change the "ps" page to cover the berkeley
variant, and i'll leave that as a good example for when i cover 
"man" toward the end of that chapter.

it might seem tempting to cover "man" early in the essentials
chapter, but i'm leaving that until near the end, for reasons
that will become obvious once i write it.  trust me. :-)

rday

p.s.  from what i've seen, the linux "ps" command supports
both sets of options, anyway -- sysv and berkeley -- depending
on whether or not you use a hyphen or not.
