xterm/tty problems

A colleague at work asked me the following, and I couldn't quite remember
how to fix it. 

She logs into a Linux frontend for our beowolf cluster, using rlogin, and
when she runs man, it leaves the xterm in a state such that everything is
underlined after that. If she uses more, then everything is reverse video.

Where do you go to stop this from happening, and what do you put there?

This is a tty thing, isn't it. I understood those things, sort of, years
ago, but I've forgotten almost all of it...

The front end (and the clusters too) are running some version of Redhat.
