As another poster hinted, the colon is a path element separator, so
d:/anything won't work.  Try
mount

mkdir /d
mount d: /d

and then put /d/anything in your path.  There's more info about mount
scattered throughout the documentation/FAQ.

I downloaded the man package from the franken ftp site, but if you already
have another man, then maybe that will work.  I believe the man pages are
included in the install, but man.exe is not, for some reason.
