using man problem

I have made a very simple manpage how can i view it using the man command. "nroff -man mypage" gives me a proper output.

Add the directory that contains your man page to your MANPATH

export MANPATH=$MANPATh:/dir_path

Guy,
I'm making my own manpage now also!
I use "man nroff", and get most of the help.
I'll post the result when success!
