The "at" section of the manpage contains duplicate wording that doesn't make
sense:


       Permission is checked for initiator of the "at" command,  not  for
the
       owners  of  the affected display(s).  Note that the '#' character
works
       as a comment introducer when it is preceded by whitespace. This can
be
       escaped by prefixing a '\'.  Permission is checked for the initiator
of
       the "at" command, not for the owners of the affected display(s).


Duplicated wording: _"Permission is checked for the initiator of the "at"
command, not for the owners of the affected display(s)."_

Patch attached to fix.
