Attached is the output from cygcheck. I ran into this problem today, too -- I'm not sure what changed (updated man package?), but I've long had the following in my ~/.bashrc: export PAGER=less It seems that now, this environment variable overrides the setting in /usr/share/misc/man.conf: PAGER=less -isrR I fixed the problem by (1) leaving the PAGER setting in ~/.bashrc, but (2) ALSO setting MANPAGER in ~/.bashrc export MANPAGER='less -isrR' -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
