I figured out a command that achieves what I was looking for (how to 
look at man pages), for example:

 troff -man -Tascii bash.1 | grotty | less

The groff package I'm using is
http://www.itribe.net/virtunix/groff-1.10nt.zip

I got less from
http://wwwdim.uqac.uquebec.ca/ftp/pub/gnuwin32/less321w.zip
(thanks to a post from Sylvain Boivin yesterday).
