how to disable reverse video on xterm man well i am not sure if this is the right newsgroup to ask but let me try anyway i am running xterm and like all unix users i run man something recently i switched to solaris and their man pages are littered with i directives that are somehow translated into reverse video when displayed by man under xterm the resulting output admittedly a personal taste is very annoying to look at back when i was using sunos i remember their man pages have some keywords displayed with underlining so my question is how do i change the xterm s behaviour under i directives for nroff man pages to perhaps underlining or at least disabling it b directives are fine i like them and of course i don t want to go in and edit the man pages inputs somehow xterm allows one to specify both a normal font and a bold font but not an italic font any pointers suggestions are greatly appreciated thanks john p s running xterm rv won t work i tried
