My question was:

I try to do a help and I keep getting this error!! Does anyone know why
this is happening?? I am running version 5.1

# man rmdir
Reformatting page. Please wait...sh: col: cannot execute
man: The program has ended abnormally.


I had two of the quickest responses and found the problem:

Check to make sure col is in /usr/bin

csb2:/usr/bin> ls -l col
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 24832 Aug 2 02:00 col

For some reason, it was gone!! I copied it back and it works okay now.
Thanks to Michael Bucholtz and Martin Moore.
