The default .login file at /usr/share/skel/dot.login defines MANPATH =

"correctly" like this:

setenv MANPATH "/usr/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/usr/local/man"

If you login to your system via xdm, I believe ~/.login is not =

executed. There are ways to fix that, but I don't know how right now. =

The easiest thing to do would be to move the above line into ~/.cshrc.

Lacking MANPATH, I believe man will execute manpath(1) to figure out =

where things are. You can edit /etc/manpath.config to fix things.

The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its
capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
