What were you trying to do?

[~]:E40-008-8 % xbiff -help
X Toolkit Error: Can't Open display
[~]:E40-008-8 %

What's wrong:
I don't see why I need a display to print the usage of a command.

What should have happened:
It should have printed the usage.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
man xbiff
