Hi, Was wondering how to get "man" to output pages in plain text? I want the basic formating (indentation & whatnot) but NOT the bold and other special effects. Just ascii text I can grep through. I tried setting the terminal type to "dumb" and the stupid thing still tries to do back-space overstrike bolding (jeesh - even LA-120s had fancier print capabilities than that, IIRC.) -Thanks, Wayne
