For Emacs, you will have to install a termcap data-base and point the 
TERM environment variable to it.  Even then, I'm not sure it will work 
satisfactory.

It seems that the entries in DJGPP.ENV are not seen by the program.  Are 
you sure you didn't mis-spell the names of the sections (like [groff]) 
and the names of the environment variables?  If you can't find the 
problem yourself, please post the contents of your DJGPP.ENV.

Also please check that you have set DJGPP=c:\usr\DJGPP.ENV and that 
DJGPP.ENV is indeed kept in C:\USR.

This can also happen if your DJGPP environment variable isn't set to the 
exact pathname of the DJGPP.ENV file.
