The suggestion of building a new terminfo entry will change or stop
highlighting from all terminfo/curses programs, not just man.  If
you dislike highlighting, that may be what you want.

The suggestion of using fixman will remove the highlighting from the
man files, and thus affect all users of man on your system.  If that's
what you want, it also has the advantage of saving some disk space.

If you want to affect only the man command only when you run it, you
can do

	man <whatever> | col -b | more #or other pager

You can use an alias, shell function, or shell script to do this
(depending on your choice of shell).
