System name:		pianoforte
Type and version:	SPARC/Classic 7.7G (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
	Use help in tty mode.

What's wrong: 

    The help command (the ? key) inside "help -tty" produces something
    unreadable.  (Looks like it's way confused about where the carriage
    returns are, or something.  Problem with curses?  Problem with
    help's tty mode?)

    This was originally reported as a release 7.7 bug by Anne LaVin,
    but also existed under 7.6.

    This is not too critical, especially if we change to different
    clients for help, but consider it officially reported.

What should have happened:
