I was using man command at cmdline on a remote login.

What I see logged in remotely with TERM set to xterm

[...]
     idmap setâaauthenticationMethod] [âDbindDN]
          [âjpasswdfile] name1 name2

[...]

AFter using the suggested command I see this... (exactly the same):

     idmap setâaauthenticationMethod] [âDbindDN]
          [âjpasswdfile] name1 name2

Even if I back out and set the TERM to vt100 on the local and ssh from
the same shell to oi, so my TERM is set to vt100 at login, I still see
the same thing.

Some pages appear cleaner... for example `man iostat' shows much less of
that.
