You probably know this, but just to be sure, both HTML documentation
and man pages are available as separate downloads from:
http://www.erlang.org/download.html

Thanks, I didn't know about the docs download.  But once again I am having trouble accessing the docs.  I can certainly untar the file:

otp_doc_man_R15B01.tar.gz

...but then what??  The README file gives no hints about how to install the docs.  And this is what I get:

~/Downloads/otp_docs_man$ erl -man lists
No manual entry for lists
