What were you trying to do?
Look at the ahelp man page
What's wrong:
One section looks like this:
-m: 'more' mode, for use with CRTs. Formats each ahelp document for
display on a CRT and uses more to present them. If more than one ahelp
entry is found on a keyword, you are prompted for which entry you wanted
to see. Ahelp is run with "-m" by default when it is invoked from out-
side a window manager. -s <directory>: search the named directory in
addition to the system directories. This option allows you to put
ahelp documents into a personal directory and then have ahelp find those
ahelp documents when it starts. Using "-s" slows the startup time of
ahelp by adding more directories to search.
Note that the -s <directory> option is not properly justified.
What should have happened:
The -s option should be a separate paragraph
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
man ahelp
