Hi,
does anyone know what the following mean:

MANDIR=$(1-/usr/share/man)??

If I echo it out it just says /usr/share/man

from 'man ksh':

${parameter:-word}
Use Default Values. If parameter is unset or null,
the expansion of word will be substituted; other-
wise, the value of parameter will be substituted.
