ssh viewing mana pages, newb question

[ian douglas]

Excuse the newb question, but this is irritating:

I'm connecting to a Fedora Core 3 box via SSH with Linux terminal 
emulation turned on, and while directory colors show up, etc., all nice 
and pretty, and vim syntax highlighting, etc., when I run the 'man' 
command to view help files, I see extended characters and don't know how 
to correct that.

For example, 'man CGI' produces the following:

                start_html(’A Simple Example’),
                h1(’A Simple Example’),
                start_form,
                "What’s your name? ",textfield(’name’),p,
                "What’s the combination?", p,
                checkbox_group(-name=>’words’,

where syntax highlighting should take place.

Any ideas on how I can correct this? Is this dependant on my SSH client 
(securecrt)
