Expecting to fit everything in 80x24 so that paging/scrolling is not required is unreasonable for a program like darcs that has a not trivial command line interface with over 32 commands each with multiple options. I find the help helpful as it is, I only don't want to automatically have it sent to the pager. -- Dan _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
