Hi...this is a very dumb question but I am at a loss.

man $whatver
returns:
No manual entry for $whatever

Obviously the man pages are sitting in /usr/share/man*
And equally obviously they are gzipped.
I can tap on them in midc and read them.

How do I get man to read them?  Am I missing some arcane arg?
Can't find any reference to this in the Handbook or Greg's book.

Thanks much,
Tom
