Thanks. It worked. I made a script called mannew that looks like this #!/bin/sh unset LANG=ja_JP unset LC_CTYPE="ja_JP" unset LC_NUMERIC=C unset LC_TIME=C unset LC_COLLATE=ja_JP unset LC_MONETARY="ja_JP" unset LC_MESSAGES=C unset LC_PAPER="ja_JP" unset LC_NAME="ja_JP" unset LC_ADDRESS="ja_JP" unset LC_TELEPHONE="ja_JP" unset LC_MEASUREMENT="ja_JP" unset LC_IDENTIFICATION="ja_JP" export LANG=C export LANGUAGE=C /usr/bin/man "$@" Now when I call for example mannew man It will display the correct man page. Faboulous. Thanks a lot. Bence -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
