Clearly I don't know exactly what I mean, or I wouldn't need to ask, but I
don't think it needs much imagination and if if you keep replying to my
question with another question clearly I'm not going to get anywhere.

I mean if I have an nroff file that starts:

  .\" DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE!  It was generated by help2man 1.28.
  .TH LS "1" "July 2002" "ls (fileutils) 4.1.11" "User Commands"
  .SH NAME
  ls \- list directory contents
  .SH SYNOPSIS
  .B ls
  [\fIOPTION\fR]... [\fIFILE\fR]...
  .SH DESCRIPTION
  ...

then [\fIOPTION\fR]... [\fIFILE\fR]... displays as underlined text in an xterm
`with underlining' and with a magenta foreground in one `without underlining'.
