I asked myself the same question and if I remember correctly I found that invoking "tbl" is not necessary since most processors already invoke it or something like that. I have to refresh my memory though. Do you have a specific man page which is not displayed correctly due the what you describe above ? _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
