This should be fixed now. Thanks for the report.

Yeah, that was sort of a hack... If you give an invalid cluster name,
it will spit back the valid ones, so I just documented that "cview help"
would give help, which it does, but it does also give the error
message...
I have now changed the server so that "help" is a special word... it
will only give the usage message and will skip the error message. Any
other invalid cluster name will continue to give the error, then the
usage message.

Yep, the manpage is messed up. Apparently only on the DECstation,
though. I don't know what can be done about that -- sounds like a
rel-eng problem to me. I don't know what the manpage formatting
commands on the dec are, but they certainly do produce different
manpages from the rest...
