on unix systems, about each and every cmdline tool has a manpage. $ man pd most programs i know, also accept a "-h" or "--help" argument, that gives you another help. Pd is a bit exclusive here, as it uses the "-help" syntax (but then Pd is clever enough to give you the full help whenever it encounters an argument it doesn't know about; so "pd -h" and "pd --help" work fine as well). $ pd -help in the case of Pd, the manpage is a little neglected, but at least it directs you to "pd -help". fgamsd IOhannes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAlD/rkQACgkQkX2Xpv6ydvTONgCgnt2RHZ3UVlLIY8tndFgQoqIq oxcAoJ5wTDLC9GoRiJhUl2FJTfA0iIKg =ries -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
