Yes.  I think this is an *excellent* idea!!

But everybody's gotta be an editor, right?  So, here's my minor 
modification:

'Documentation is available online, if you first install the 
man.tar.gz distribution files.  Then, from the shell prompt, enter 

      man man

and you will see a description of the 'man' command.  If you are 
unsure of where to look, type

      apropos subject-word

where "subject-word" is your topic of interest; a list of possibly 
related manual pages will be displayed.'
