I am having a problem where escape sequences, rather than colour highlighting, appear when I display man pages.
I am running CygWin under Windows XP SP2. My prompt (the default) contains escape sequences and the prompt appears correctly in colour. If I enter ls --color then I see nicely coloured names but in man I see escape sequences. I have searched the archives and, although there are lots of mentions of escape sequences, nothing seems to match this problem. I run CygWin at home under Win2K and I have a colleague at the next desk that is running CygWin under XP SP2. The man pages are fine in both these two cases. Any clues about what to check to fix this on my work machine?
