What's the difference between LC 'shell' and OSX terminal?

[stephen barncard]

on a side note regarding shell - I just ran this from the message box:

put shell("man zip")



and got this text:

----------------------------(clip)--------------------------------

ZIP(1L)
ZIP(1L)




NNAAMMEE

       zip - package and compress (archive) files

[--longoption ...]  [-bb path]

       [-nn suffixes] [-tt date] [-tttt date] [_z_i_p_f_i_l_e [_f_i_l_e
...]]  [--xxii list]

----------------------------(/clip)--------------------------------

what is the text encoding in the man pages?  In terminal the doubled
characters show up as boldface.
