Problem with terminal escapes for manpages RESENT W/OUT ENCLOSURES

[David A. Cobb]

I thought I sent this several weeks back, but I don't see it on the 
list.  My SWAG is that the attached zipfile caused it to be refused.
If the attachments are needed for understanding, please, how can I 
post them?

Background: everything up to date
Terminal: rxvt

If I query info for a page that exists only in the manpages, all is 
well except there's nothing special about highlighting.
If, however, I use man itself it behaves as though it is 
double-escaping the highlight sequences: i.e. the \e]??m codes are 
in the source and man surrounds them with additional escapes in 
order to render "non-display" codes instead of just letting them do 
their thing.
If I'm really a glutton for punishment I can try pinfo.  That gives 
me the worst of both worlds.

attached:
(a) cygcheck output
(b) screenshot "info man"
(c) screenshot "man man"
(d) screenshot "pinfo man"

The screenshots were created in .png format by the Gimp v2.0-pre.

possibilities that occur to me: something not so good in terminfo or 
in my .Xdefaults
