I changed it to -isrR, but that didn't change the display. But that info led me to find that my environment variable PAGER was set to "less". After changing it to "less -isrR", man is working! This should be in a FAQ somewhere, as I've have PAGER set to "less" for years without a problem. I'm not sure what changed... Thanks for your help!
