man pages jacked up
 

i'm posting this for a friend.


"Whenever I do a "man" on something, the control characters are all
jacked up. One person here said to change my terminal emulation to
something else, but it didn't make a difference. Do you know how to fix
that so I don't see those stupid boxes and freaked up characters all
over?"

i usually connect to my system in a win2k network through
hyperterminal(telnet)
and as usual the man pages comes garbled
so i use vt100 and at least it is less garbled
if anybody knows why this is happening and the possible remedy i would be thankful
i tried everything i could
