I am experiencing a very strange phenomenon. I have an old IBM 3151 ASCII display terminal that has been lying around the house; and today I decided to see if I could get it connected up to one of my PCs, which runs Debian GNU/Linux (jessie). I was successful in doing this. But when I login to Debian from the IBM 3151 terminal, I have noticed some strange goings on. The system locale is en_US.UTF-8. But of course this old terminal is mostly 7-bit ASCII, though it does support vt100 graphic character escape sequences for box drawing. I have modified ~/.bashrc so that if the terminal type ($TERM) is ibm3151, I set LANG to en_US, and that has solved some problems. But when I issue the MAN command, I see lower-case "m"s at the end of each line.
I tried searching the internet with the keywords trailing m at the end of each line with man but it produced no useful results. Ideas, anyone? -- .''`.
