System name: medusa
Type and version: CVAXSTAR 7.2R (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: SM
What were you trying to do?
help @programming:fortran_menu
What's wrong:
medusa% help @programming:fortran_menu
Help is on the way...
--------------------------- February 11, 1991 ----------------------------
A new version of tty-based OLH is now available, including keyword search,
printing, and other options formerly only available in the X-based version.
To obtain this version, type 'help -tty' at the athena% prompt; to list all
the options of the tty version, type '?' at its 'Number:' prompt.
The default version of 'help' is still X-based on most systems. This version
has a known problem you may run into: your workstation may not have enough
memory to run the viewer for some documents. If you try to view a document
and nothing happens for a long time (2 min.), then you may be experiencing
this problem, and should use the text-based version.
/mit/logos/vaxbin/olh_motif: 9580 Memory fault
----------------------------------------------------
Unmatched ".
Same with tthe tty version.
What should have happened:
Should have worked
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Starting /mit/logos/vaxbin/olh_ascii @programming:fortran_menu causes
the problem too.
