Thanks, I understand now (and Enrico pointed me to the right manpage:).

There are other man pages:

fantomas: find -name \*man
./src/client/lyxclient.man
./src/tex2lyx/tex2lyx.man
./development/lyxsocket/lyxclient.man
./development/Win32/packaging/dtl/dt2dv.man
./development/Win32/packaging/dtl/dv2dt.man
./lyx.man

Did you check them or should I do so?
