Try this:
put "ls" into tCommand
put shell("man " & tCommand & " | col -b") into fld 1
That is how my Shell Command Help plugin does it.

So, no way of decoding this easily, huh? If you do a char by char pass through
the text and replace every doubled letter with its single, then you'll get
sily comands.... How do the "geek apps" manage to parse it?

As you can see, the section titles and commands consist of doubled

I encountered this as I was trying to read the man for ls on the server
machine [On-Rev]... the text file I obtained was almost unreadable!
Nonetheless, "doubled" chars are interpreted as *bold* chars on geek
apps (you know, line command) ;-)
