>man paint Zillion lines of text scroll by swear >man paint | less go through 10 pages of text before finding the /pickcolour command >paint /pickcolor /x 123 /y 843 how the pixel position was found is left as an exercise for the reader option pickcolor not found curse and rerun the man and scroll through all the pages again realize it's /pickcolour and not /pickcolor >paint /pickcolor /x 123 /y 843 red gets selected after more furious rtfm'ing and Bing'ing(on Lynx of course), realize pickcolor uses coordinate calculation from the bottom right and not top left When you need to do this again in a month, forget the command and the spelling and repeat all of the above again.
