System name:		gene-wolfe
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.2R
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
  Send the postscript version of a man page to the printer using the -t
flag.

What's wrong:
  If the man page for a command points to another man page, the -t function
doesn't work:

athena% man -t opendir
troff: can't open file man3/directory.3

What should have happened:
   It should have worked.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
   The file /usr/man/man3/opendir.3 is:

       .so man3/directory.3
