Man problems



Hi,

I am using Debian 1.3 since six months and am happy with the distribution.
I have a couple of problems for which I need some help:

1. I have installed offix-files for which there is manpage files.1x.gz in
/usr/X11R6/man/man1. But 'man files' says 'No manual entry...' I also get
a message that the database is 8days old. How do I update the database so
that the above problem does not occur again?

2. I recently installed MuPAD. To access its manuals, I added the
following line to /etc/profile

      MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/MuPAD/share/man

But this somehow removes the usual man directories from the search path.
How do I add new directories to the MANPATH without trashing the earlier
ones in my own .bash_profile? 

TIA,

sridhar
