Hallo, world! The M-x man command does 2 things: (i) It finds the pertinent file using complicated, difficult, and obscure algorithms; (ii) It converts the markup stuff in the file to a readable form and displays it. I have an Nroff file, mount.8, loaded into Emacs. How do I do part (ii) of the above, and get it nicely displayed? TIA! -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).

... .emacs file? What value should I set it to? Thanks. Try doing M-x man first (you don't have to get past the minibuffer prompt). This will load up the lazy-loaded libraries and define Man-notify-method for you. Then you'll get completion (and a list of possible values) for M-x customize-variable. (Because defcustom/defvar don't clobber ... in future, even though it gets read at emacs load, before man load) Rupert
