It's nice when you find out that it's not even really magic.

That's why I say it's better to try to get it running and then play with it, the system gets visible.

Yeah, the troff files are intended to be typeset, you see a lot of stuff that doesn't even come through unless you print it, but since page is part of the OS and the GUI is integrated, you can just view the printable version. Inferno's man page browser is even nicer; names get converted to clickable links.

Here's something fun, though: open up sam or acme and then in a different window, type 'src clock'.
