Hi! I've just been installing Cygwin on a new machine and getting everything into the shape I like it, but there's something I can't seem to figure out how to fix.
I'm running XWin all the time so I can use xterms, but manual pages seem to get formatted to 80 columns wide no matter how wide my xterm window is. This is, as you may imagine, somewhat irritating, and I'm at my wits' end in trying to find where to fix it.
Has anyone any advice to offer? I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

Try making your font smaller so the man page width still fits your narrow xterm.
Thanks, but that's the exact backwards of what I'm looking for; I could've been clearer in my original message. The command line with which I start my usual xterm sets it to 120 columns, and I frequently size it up from there. This seems to be the usual mode of operation under Unix; for example, when I've ssh'd into a Linux box from a Cygwin xterm, manual pages are formatted to the terminal width instead of a hard eighty(ish) columns.
Thanks again.
