As the man page for colcrt(1) says under BUGS, underlines ought to be
folded onto blanks, BUT blah blah blah!  What we want is to view a line
like

	Has anybody seen my foo_bar?

as itself, and not as

	Has anybody seen my foo bar?
	                       -

Here are diffs to do it.  The line numbers may be off a bit.  As usual,
the proprietary etc. precludes etc. clearer posting.  A minor tradeoff
is that if you really feed Example 2 in, you'll get Example 1 out.
