That man1p directory is being searched because of your MANPATH environment variable or the woman-manpath, woman-man.conf-path, or woman-path Emacs Lisp variables. If you examine their values, you can determine which one is responsible. But if man1p and man1 are siblings of a common parent directory, you might not be able to exclude the former from the search path and still include the latter by frobbing those variables. So you would have to resort to something like this: (defadvice woman-expand-directory-path (after man1p activate) "Exclude \"/usr/man/man1p\"." (setq ad-return-value (delete "/usr/man/man1p" ad-return-value))) -- Kevin Rodgers
