[wellylug] Man-page formatting

[Nick Jensen]

Hi all,

Whenever I use "man" to read a manual, the man page is formatted about
5 characters too narrow, so every line has a line break and 5
characters on the next line. This makes it really hard to read.

If I am using a terminal program like xterm or Eterm I can widen the
terminal after the man page has been displayed and it will come right,
but if I then open another one it will again be formatted wrong. After
I've read 6 man pages I have to open a new terminal! And if I'm using
a 'linux' terminal I obviously can't widen the screen, so I'm stuck
with it.

Does anyone know what this is about? It's quite difficult to Google
for because I don't really know what the problem is.

Thanks,

Nick
