I have a function mman defined like this in my .bashrc:

 function mman() { troff -man -Tascii $1 | grotty | less; }

I know the definition is there, because it works.
But if I do:

 type mman

I get back

mman is a function
mman

Note: I'm using the Cygnus gnu-win32 port of bash on Win 95. Do my results mean it 
is brain-damaged?
Thanks -- David
