To answer my own question: with fc any number range eg first last should/must be the lastWould this be a little clearer? History (pun intended) shows that making the docs more verbose doesn't mean people necessarily find them clearer, but I think they are particularly terse at this point. pws
Peter you made me laugh out loud when you used the word 'terse'I often find I understand documentation AFTER I have actually found out how to do something LOL (especially assembling flat-pack furniture).
But as you say there is trade-off between verbosity which people may not read and simplicity.
In this case however had I really invested in understanding the existing fc man page I would spared myself considerable grief.
Isn't there an adage something like '6 hours of coding and testing saves 1 hour of studying the documentation'?
