Since you didn't say, I'm assuming you are trying to view cdrecord.man. I
recommend you don't assume all .man files are formatted the same. They
are not.

I use less.exe to view cdrecord.man, but there are several viewers than
can handle the ascii formatting codes that it contains.

I have not used qedit in years, but IIRC, it has a mode that will handle
the formatting codes. You might hunt through the settings.

HTH,

Steven
