What were you trying to do?
	Look at a man page.

What's wrong:

----clipping from xterm------
     BUGS
          Many; Let us know about them.  Many of them are documented in the
          online helpfiles.

                                                                          1

athena%-(99%)
---end clipping from xterm---

(pretend the -(99%) is in reverse video)

What should have happened:
	man should have cleaned up that stuff before it exited.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	man man
