Effectively, 'pagination off' and event worse 'style enabled off' make it significantly more difficult to see where apropos -v starts the doc of a new command. So, adding a separator line of ----------------- helps for such cases. I am just wondering if we then still need an empty line before the ------ separator line. I have a slight preference for the more compact one separator line of ------------ (but of course, I will not have any nausea if we keep the 2 lines separator). Philippe
