I wonder if proc.5 should be split. To me, it's a huge page where
it's hard to find what you want, unless you already know what to look
for. I haven't had to use it often, which is why I didn't care enough
to do it myself, but if anyone thinks it's a good idea, this is an
invitation to do it :)
Cheers,
Alex
