OK, Lucien explained to me that the manpages are going to be left on the
locker(s).  This is fine with me, as long as the change is documented.  I
can live with that...    However, the x11r3 and x11r5 lockers do not have
"man" subdirs.  Can someone please fix that?  Thanks.

I just noticed something else, as well.  In my .evironment, I set up my own
MANPATH, but since the MANPATH has changed in this release, I was losing, so
I modified my MANPATH to be ${MANPATH}:blah:blah:blah...   but now if I source
.environment again, my MANPATH gets huge.  It seems what is needed is perhaps
something analogous to "athena_path" that people can use in setting up their
own paths...  maybe ATHENA_MANPATH?  Except then we've got yet another env-var.
I guess athena_manpath could be a shell var, though...

						-C.
