some weird behavior when viewing man pages
I noticed that displaying man pages looks a bit funny. The box is running
redhat 5 ES, using bash shell, over ssh via putty on a windows xp box. For instance, when I man man the first word for the -w option is Donāt --which I assume should read as Don't. Further down, for the LANG section there are two more uses of ā associated with the text LANG and foo. Any ideas on this? Thanks.

Change the character set translation in putty to UTF-8.
This is found in the Configuration window, under Window, and then under Translation. See attached PNG.

some weird behavior when viewing man pages
Thanks Kris for this tip. I was always prepending LANG=C, like "LANG=C man
man". But your solution is better, not to mention that changing locale may have some other side effect.
