$ My login shell is csh. It looks like the latter calls c-shell instead of shell.
$ If it is true, how can I solve the problem. Thanks in advance.

Is "." in the beginning of your path or at the end?  Did you rehash
after creating your man command?  Did you "chmod +x man"?  Try "./man
xxx" and see what happens.
