Thanks for all the help.  As often is the case with me, it was a user induced problem.  I
had copied over from my old system all my dot files, e.g. .bashrc, and the MANPATH was being
set there and also in .bash_profile.  I think I was correct in that the man.config settings
were being overwritten -- by my doing!  I grep'ed my home directory for MANPATH, but didn't
realize I needed to search ".*" and not just "*".

Cheers,
Gary
