Also, my less man page is totally messed up. All other man pages

I have export PAGER='less -R' in my .bashrc
HTH,
Oops, I misspoke. It is my rxvt man page that is messed up. I see stuff
like this when I do
man rxvt
I see stuff like this:
.YODLTAGSTART. roffcmd .SH "NAME" .YODLTAGEND. rxvt (ouR
XVT) - a VT102 emulator for the X window system.YODLTAGSTART.
roffcmd .PP .YODLTAGEND.
Setting PAGER does not seem to affect anything for me.
Anyhow,when I do
alias less="less -R"
My ls -l | less problem is solved.
Thanks,
-gene
