Thank you for the tips. I see it now.

Could this information be added to the places that don't currently refer to it?

e.g. these two places:

A)
--help: -- Please see "help umask" for documentation

B) man umask:   Please see "help umask" for documentation

Saving the need to hunt it down..

Thanks, Jon
