No, it wasnt' THERE.  There was no man.exe AND
the "other man" was LATER on the path even had
there been such a file.

I used setup and re-installed it.  The other item,
still later on the path was being picked up. So I
deleted the other man, and then bash complained
that the deleted file was missing even though the
"right one" is in /usr/bin and the "wrong one" is
gone.

I still haven't found an encantation for "hash"
(or the proper command) so temporarily I put a 
link in the "wrong location" to point to the
correct man.exe.
