Hi Harold,

Just what I said.  I had poked around at another site and noticed
that setting when I telnet'ed there.  Sooo, I tried it and where 
before, I had been getting warning messages that my terminal 
settings were not up to par, but everything seemed to be working
right, now everything seems to be working right and, .... and, my
manpages show embellishments such as bold words, etc.  How is
that for a run-on sentence?

Am I in trouble,
Ron  :-)
