I've got everything working pretty much as before, except for one new problem: man pages are all coming out with formatting commands rendered as garbage text. For example, the output of 'man ls' starts out with ESC[1mNAMEESC[0m ls - list directory contents where the 'ESC' strings are rendered in inverse video. The first line is supposed to render 'NAME' in bold face. All of my man pages are so full of this stuff as to be close to unreadable. Can someone tell me what's causing it, and how I can fix it? I'm using a PuTTYcyg terminal with CYGWIN=tty ntsec LANG=C TERM=xterm but I get the same results in xterm and a DOS console window. I don't see any other artifacts on the screen. Help??
