_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Calculate pairwise Manhattan distances for all rows of a matrix
     and  save as a 'dist' object.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     man(x, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: a matrix or an ExpressionSet; if x is an ExpressionSet, then
          the function uses its 'exprs' slot.

     ...: arguments passed to 'man':

     _d_i_a_g if 'TRUE', then the diagonal of the distance matrix will  be
          displayed; default is FALSE.

     _u_p_p_e_r if 'TRUE', then the upper triangle of the distance matrix
          will  be displayed; default is FALSE. 

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     This is just an interface to 'dist' with the right parameters set.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     An instance of the 'dist' class with the pairwise Manhattan
     distances between the rows of 'x'.

_A_u_t_h_o_r(_s):

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'KLD.matrix','mutualInfo'

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

      x <- matrix(rnorm(200), nrow = 5)
      man(x)
