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?

Greetings,
Dimitri
