If the man path includes a directory with a blank, i. e. '/tmp/a b/man' then the message fmeier@LAETOP /d/Projects/PR970217 Larix $ man -M '/tmp/a b/man' mmp_m3d cd: can't cd to /tmp/a cat: /tmp/a: No such file or directory cat: /tmp/a: No such file or directory appears. Although it is a bad idea to include a blank in the name of a file or directory, this behaviour supprises me and I consider it a fault.
