Hi -
When I invoke M-x manual-entry (as described in section 21.9
of the Emacs Manual), rather than a readable-by-humans manual page I
get something that looks like this:
R)"%I
PPTH"!C($3& 6a\ySg#aF$aN2s>|80`A t
etc.
I checked what seemed to me to be the pertinent variables; they are
manual-program's value is "/bin/man"
manual-formatted-dir-prefix's value is "/usr/man/cat"
manual-formatted-dirlist's value is ("/usr/man/cat1" "/usr/man/cat2" "/usr/man/cat3" "/usr/man/cat4" "/usr/man/cat5" "/usr/man/cat6" "/usr/man/cat7" "/usr/man/cat8" "/usr/man/catl" "/usr/man/catn")
All of these seem reasonable to me.
Possibly useful info: I have installed GNU Emacs on our 1500 series Stardent
(formerly Ardent) Titan 2. It is presently running Stardent UNIX
Release 2.2 (UNIX System V Release 3.0 with some BSD extensions).
What am I doing wrong?
I read the newsgroup regularly so you can reply there if you think
this would be of some general interest, otherwise reply by e-mail.
PLEASE note the return path on my outgoing mail is frequently broken,
