Thanks for all the responses to my "man" question.  Setting the MORE environment
variable works very well.  I really didn't consider messing with terminfo; that
seemed like real overkill.  Using 

  alias man 'man \!* | col -b | more'

gave me "too many processes" errors (guess I'm right at the edge-- all those
xterms).  I also got a suggestion by mail to alias man to

  TERM=dumb /usr/bin/man

from ksh.  This works fine but I use a lot of different platforms and they don't
all have ksh, so I don't want to get used to it.  Guess I'm stuck with csh for
a while :-).
