Hello!

Thank you for maintaining man pages.

At a terminal, I had the following interaction:

$ man alisp
No manual entry for alisp
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.

$ man 7 undocumented
No manual entry for undocumented in section 7

After that, I typed
$ man -7 undocumented

That took me to a relevant page.

So, it seems that the error message should be "See 'man -7 undocumented'
for help..." rather than "See 'man 7 undocumented' for help..."

What distribution, and what man(1) program are you using? With the 
man(1) provided by the man-db package, the syntax "man -7 undocumented" 
isn't valid.

Cheers,

Michael

Aside: I now recognize that it was misguided to type 'man alisp'

Best wishes,
Andrew
