Add comment re: man pages in windows #784

Closed gdevenyi closed 7 years ago

gdevenyi commented 9 years ago

Instructors keep going to show man pages to students, windows doesn't have man pages.

Thanks @gdevenyi! This is definitely a recurring issue and one that we need to avoid to avoid making the Windows users feel like outsiders early in the workshops.

The pages are actually present, they just need to be called using <command name> --help instead. This will work on all OSs so what about directing the instructors to use this format instead of man?
