OK much nicer. No need for col -b now too. P.S., SJ> I don't have an idea why Man-support-local-filenames returns nil for you OK, on Debian sid emacs -Q M-x man who, then C-h v Man-support-local-filenames ... is a variable defined in `man.el'. Its value is auto-detect What is weird is though one can do describe-variable Man-support-local-filenames, one cannot do M-x set-variable: Set variable: Man-support-local-filenames [No match] (CARRIAGE RETURN not accepted) must have something to do with Documentation: Internal cache for the value of the function `Man-support-local-filenames'. `auto-detect' means the value is not yet determined. So this is a different bug: with M-x one can describe-variable but cannot set-variable for that same variable. "Not determined" or not.
