This works.  Thanks!  I have no idea what I just did, but I will have fun
investigating.  Thanks for your prompt response.

Saw this on another Red Hat list.  The suggested correction was to put the
following in one of the startup scripts, they suggested /etc/profile

export LESSCHARDEF=.

Subject: Strange Characters in Man Page Output


After upgrading from RH 5.1 to 6.2, I am noticing strange characters in my
man
page output.  When a word is broken between the end of one line and the
beginning of the next line such that there would normally be a dash at the
end
of the line, my ouput shows the highlighted characters "<AD>" (without the
quotes).  Can someone give me a clue what is going on?  Might I have done
anything inadvertantly during the upgrade to cause this.  I am still a Linux
newbie so feel free to mention anything that would be obvious to someone
with
more experience.

Thanks,
Ken Traynham
