Holy Cow! Good eye, though I don't know how _that_ happened?? When does
this entry get created? Did I have something funky in my Windows Env
Variables? Changing them in Windows doesn't change them _everywhere_ in
Cygwin, eh?

Unfortunately, maybe it helped for something else, but my man problems
still remain:

duane@USD22C821 ~
$ man man
/usr/bin/tbl: not found
/bin/cat: not found
/usr/bin/nroff: not found
/usr/bin/less: not found
Error executing formatting or display command.
System command (cd /usr/man && (echo ".pl 1100i"; /bin/cat
'/usr/man/man1/man.1'
; echo; echo ".pl \n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/tbl | /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc
| /usr/
bin/less -isrR) exited with status 32512.
No manual entry for man

Thanks,
