Strange Man Page behaviour/output

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



My newest Rh 8.0 machine has strange 'man' behaviour.
On local terminals, it does not create a problem, but
when telnet'ing in from another type of system, the
unusual characters output do not work.  This is a
fresh install of RH8.0 with RHN used to bring all installed
packages up to date.

In the attached transcript, the \E2\80\E2\80\90 is
the HEX representation of the characters output.
That sequence is a dash (-) when it is rendered locally.

Does anyone know of a way to turn this behaviour off and
not send non-ascii characters to the screen?

Thank you for your time.
