Escape sequences are not interpreted

[Vinod Gupta]

When I look at a man page in a bash window under cygwin, I see that 
video escape sequences are not interpreted. My TERM is set to "xterm" in 
an xterm window and "cygwin" in a DOS window. LANG variables are set to 
en_US. As an example, here are a few lines from the screen dump of "man 
cygwin"

If I "echo ${ESCSEQ} some-text" then the escape sequence is correctly 
interpreted. Problem occurs only during man pages.

Any suggestions?
