Thanks for that. That Alias thing sounds good, but unfortunately I have no idea where to start. Can you go into that a little further? I dont have the knowledge to set that up, what you just advised to me.
well, personally I'd make a small shell script: type "locale" <- this will show you a bunch of variables. in your shell script, unset all of these: #!/bin/sh unset LC_CTYPE unset LC_COLLATE and so forth. then make sure LANG and LANGUAGE are set to C export LANG=C export LANGUAGE=C then call the actual command: /usr/bin/man "$@" You probably don't need to set all of them, but ime you don't want to let man ever get the slightest hint of any language or locale settings: even a locale of en is likely to reult iin broken man pages as it tries to be "clever" and use funky emdash characters.
