I've started reading certain man pages with emacs since
sometimes if they're sent over to cawf or awf they generate errors.
The one problem page for me is bash.1.
What I'd like to know is if there's any kind of additional filtration a
user can tell emacs to use on something like bash.1 for example that
will filter out all those (\) characters.
Alternativly what else should be used to read bash.1?

I did finally get cawf 4.07 working once I made and
used the following batch file.  This thing is called man.bat on my system:

cut here.
@echo off
cls
set iv=c:\djgpp\bin\cawf
%iv%\cawf -man %1 | less -s
set  iv=

cut here.
