Think I've got enough #ksh implementations installed? XD

Dear God, what have you done to me, @gumnos???
The man page for #remind is longer than a programming language (#mksh)!!! 🤣

— sent from ed ;)
Also, in case anyone's curious:
function manlength { # Prints the length of manpages in pages, lines, words, chars
local output lines pages
#Depending how you count it, it can be anywhere from 44 to 66.
# Abiword gave me 48 lines on a default page layout, and that seems
# reasonable when compared to the results I got when converting
# manpages to PDFs
local linesperpage=48
output=$(man "$@" 2>/dev/null |wc)
echo " Pages Lines Words Chars"
lines=$(echo "$output" |awk '{print $1}')
pages=$(echo "$lines/$linesperpage" |bc -l)
printf "%8.1f%s\n" "$pages" "$output"
}
P.S., the body of the parent #toot was created by a simple #shell #function:
function apod {
#Today's NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day info-fetcher
curl -sL 'https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html' \
|grep -m1 "[0-9][0-9]:" \
|sed 's/^/Date: /;
s|: *<a href="|\nURL: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/|;

echo
echo "#NASA #Astronomy #PictureOfTheDay"

Roy Tamcd $PWD + Tab + Enter, as #mksh tab-completes shell parameters in backslash-escaped form (so no splitting), which is easy to type (right tiny finger lies on shift while I press $WD with left hand and P with right pointing finger)I've probably tooted about this before, but I don't know why this isn't standard.
It's just so obvious, at least to me. ;)
~ $ type mcd
mcd is a function
mcd ()
{
[[ -n $1 ]] && mkdir "$1" && cd "$1"
}
@fbfortune depends on the shell, in #mksh use Esc+Ctrl-L instead.
The command clear will also do, or even print \\033c (which does a full reset; on a hardware DEC VT420 it will simulate a power cycle with its long self-test, so be careful).
However, all of these don’t reset the tty state, so you may need to stty sane additionally.
