: Emacs has its own command to read man pages (`M-x man RET'). Did you try
: to use it?
meta-x man RET asks for the page I want to view. I tried 'cat' and got:
Symbol's function definition is void: start-process
The Message buffer also mentions: Invoking man cat in the background
I'm not up on this emacs in DOS stuff but I guess it can run a sub-process.
Same for ispell, shell, and the like.
