I am trying to figure out how to print 'man' pages. If I try a simple 
redirect, such as: "man foo > foo.txt" the new file is loaded with control 
symbols, etc. that are not really printable. I want to save the files if 
possible, and print them out at a later date. It that is not possible, how 
would I go about printing them out in real time?
