Hello, I reported this bug in upstream as http://bugs.pilot-link.org/1602
Upstream said: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hacker - 02-03-06 13:24 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check the dlpsh manpage in 0.12.0-preX to re-report existing difficulties you see. The manpages have changed quite a lot since 0.11.8 (3 years ago). Thanks to review all the previous problems and report only the remaining ones in 0.12.0-preX.
