Thanx to Alexandre and Doug for answering my question. It's funny how trying to understand one mystery you come yet across an other :) I was looking at the man page of sh and I thought: let's dump this thing into a text file and walk through it with my 'favourite text editor' (vi?). Easy to search for a specific character/word/sentence, no? I redirected the output of 'man sh' to a file but when I edited it I realized, of course, that bold text was rather illegible.. Hm! I tried Joe and Emacs but neither one did it. Commands like 'cat' and 'more' on the other hand displayed the bold text with no problem. Do I ignore a vi (Joe or Emacs) option for displaying such text?
