M-x setenv RET MANOPT RET -X100-12 RET M-x man RET man RET
This command shows the manual page for man in a new gxditview window.
Emacs cannot display the manual page because it has not been rendered to
text. But the error message is "Can't find the cat manpage". The message
is wrong. Emacs did not try to find the cat manpage, it tried to
retrieve it and it did not work.
