If you are stuck with Microsoft DOS, you need to grab a utility to redirect stderr. With a DOS window, you can probably see most of the options just by changing the properties, so that the screen displays 50 lines instead of 25. Unfortunately, with plain MS-DOS you cannot just type something like "lame --preset help 2>&1 | more" to page through stderr, or "lame --preset help 2> help.txt" to get a file to read. For those platforms that present a problem with reading stderr, perhaps LAME should be modified to instead dump help to stdout.
