Has IDLDE screwed up my man pages? [message #36624]

Newcomer to IDL, running idlde on Macintosh G4 OS 10.2.4. Also not a
Unix freak.

Recently I was messing with preferences in idlde and I think I may
have messed up the path settings in my system. IDL works fine, but
when I slip out to the xterm screen or over to Terminal, my man pages
don't work! Here is the error message, e.g., after entering 'man ls'

/usr/bin/groff: troff: Illegal instruction
/usr/bin/tbl:/usr/share/man/man1/ls.1:368:fatal error: output error

Here is the system variable $path,
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/me:/usr/X11R6/bin

Here is manpath output
/usr/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man

I have the paths preference set to <IDL_DEFAULT>.

Or is this a problem because I tried using online help from the idlde
command window?

RSVP and thanks.
