I tried these again and was reminded of why I don't use them: they write to standard error, not standard output. And while man(1) does something magical so that the pager works with bold and underlined characters, ksh --man 2>&1 | less does something unpredictable depending on platform. Sometimes I get plain ASCII with no bold or underline. Other times I get an unreadable mess of what appear to be vt100 escape codes. I like having man(1) take care of these things for me. It is bad enough to have to add '| less' to mumble -man I am way am too old and stubborn to type 2>&1 as well.
