Fixed.  It was a case of SNUE - Stupid Newbie User Error.  I was trying to
call manpages that were not installed on the system (e.g., bash and cat).
Don't know why these common ones didn't get installed, but when I try to
call manpages that I know are on the system (e.g., MAN fstab, MAN
antiword), it works fine.  I think it is alot faster than groff or
whatever is traditionally used for manpage viewing.
