smart(?) quotes and man pages

Hi,

I'm having a problem with smart(?) quotes when displaying man pages on a remote RHEL 4 machine. Instead of showing up as quotes, they are showing up as special characters or escape characters. The locale is set to "en_US.UTF-8", but changing it to "en_US" or "C" doesn't help. Described below is an example of the problem. Any ideas you may have are greatly appreciated.

Scenario:

1. ssh (or telnet) from a non-RHEL 4 machine (RHEL 3.x or Solaris 8 have been used as test machines) to a machine running RHEL 4.
2.  Run 'man ls'
3.  Search for dired (It's about a page down.)
4. On the next line that starts with "generate output", do you see a quote after the word "emacs" or do you see special characters?
