                                     Hey, EMACS: 
First parameter, NAME, should be all caps
Second parameter, SECTION, should be 1-8, maybe w/ subsection
other parameters are allowed: see man(7), man(1)
TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
\fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invoke bold face and italics,
respectively.
