Never mind; I just tried it: man makes one page and man -p is
unaffected.

Can I change the footer to read “CMD(1)” as in the header rather than
the now meaningless “Page 1”?  There’s a line:
	.ifn .tl \aPage %\a\\*(]D\a\\*(]W\a
that looks like the one to change, but to what?  Or should the footer
be eliminated entirely and the printing date moved to the header?

(When I next get bored, I’ll try to make man adjust the page width to
the window width the way mc does ☺.)
