bash manual

[V. Mark Lehky]

Hi,

This is in reference to "Edition 2.5b, last updated 15 July 2002, of The GNU 
Bash Reference Manual".

Please, please, please, for the sake of future generations, make the following 
addition in two spots in the next release of the manual. I just spent like three 
hours hunting this down:

chapter 3.3 Shell Functions AND chapter 3.7.4 Environment:
Functions, unlike aliases, can be propagated to child processes. You need to use 
the magic command 'declare -xf <function_name>' to make this happen; see chapter 
4.2 Bash Builtin Commands, for a description of "declare".

Thank You, VML.
