Hi Alex,

Did you install cxterm including the man pages ?

Did you add the PATH of cxterm to the MANPATH ?

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan

Re: How to create manual file

well firstly, is there a man page for cxterm?
I Have not found one yet.
If there is not, then the system is responding correctly.
If htere is one, hten check your MANPATH variable.

hi alex,

if it has a manual page entry the following command should give some info

whereis cxterm

will show the source, binary and manual pages for the executable / command

with best wishes

ensure the environment variable MANPATH has is correctly setup then run command catman to build the man pages.

Alex,
As many have said here

1. Check if your man path is set properly.

2. Verify if there is anything like cxterm
do a whereis cxterm

3. If something comes up step#2, it means
your man should display and also it
probably means your man path is not set
properly
