System name:		hodge
Type and version:	KN01 7.3P
Display type:		PMAX-MFB

What were you trying to do?

	Run catman with the -M flag, to specify the directory in which I
wanted to format man pages.

What's wrong:

	It worked, even though the -M flag is not described in the man
page on the DECstation.


What should have happened:

	The man page should describe all valid command line options,
especially this one, since it's used almost *every* time you use the
program.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

	catman (8)

(See the equivalent man page on a VAX or RT for an example of how to
document the -M flag.)
