[PLUG] a question which has stumped the finest minds

How do I enable underlined words in the console? When I read 
man pages in an xterm, certain words are underlined. But opening the 
same man page in a console, the underlines are not there. (for 
additional amusement, the underlined words are called "italic") 

I've read man terminfo and man ncurses and some others. Must be an 
answer somewhere. Or is this one of those hilarious insider oldtyme 
geek jokes?
