the man page for nfprint is wrong.

from the man page:

     nfprint [ -nn ] topic [ note list ]
     ...
     Nfprint gives the user the ability to print the contents of
     notesfiles.  The -nn parameter specifies the page length to
     use (66 lines/page is the default).  The note list is the
     set of notes which are to be printed.  An example note list
     is: 1,30-36,13,10,42-50.  Nfprint writes to standard output.

versus the usage message (which is correct)

     athena% nfprint
     Usage: nfprint [-lnn] [-p] notefile list

--dan
