Sorry about the delayed response time - I was away from my computer for a =
=20
week.

Start Yelp.
Navigate to Manual pages/Development/Library Functions.
At the top of the listing are three categories that contain more man pages,=
 =20
and there is also a long list of uncategorized manpages from section 3 of =
=20
the manual, some come from page 3, some from page 3perl, some come from =20
page 3ncurses, etc...

It would be nice to have each of these suffixes show as its own category, =
=20
in with either user-definable way of adapting to new categories or an =20
automatic way of adapting to new categories. Regarding the 3pm and 3perl =
=20
manpages specifically, the 3pm manpages are currently put into the "Perl" =
=20
category (as I described above). It would be nice to put the 3perl pages =
=20
into the same category (because I see no rhyme or reason to the difference =
=20
between 3perl and 3pm, although you should correct me if I am wrong or if =
=20
it is simply too difficult to do).
