It is built into the color-style code.  iirc, there is no separate ifdef 
to turn this off.  The arrows are drawn using graphic left/right arrows, 
which are not part of the vt100-style graphic characters (so many 
terminals do not have them - and given a correct terminfo, curses will use 
'<' and '>' as replacements).

ok - I'll look some more this evening.  I didn't mistype the locale 
setting (was getting something that looked like Japanese), and browsed the 
current directory, the help pages and a few remote urls with both novice 
and expert modes - but didn't see any display anomalies.
