What were you trying to do?
	
	Look at the options available to the replay command by using the
`-help' option.

What's wrong:

olcr> r -help
Usage is:       replay [<username> <instance id>] [-file <file name>]
                [-instance <instance id>]


Note that the `-status' and `-topic' flags are not documented in this
string, although they are available and are described if I go "help
replay."  /usr/athena/lib/olc/olcr_help/replay.help has this to say:

COMMAND
     replay - read a user's log

USAGE
     replay [<username> <instance id>] [-file <filename>]
     [-status <status>] [-topic <topic>]

DESCRIPTION
     When no arguments are given to this command, it simply
     displays your current log. If you have consulting
     privileges, you may specify alternate usernames.

     By specifying a status and/or a topic, you can replay groups
     of questions.

     If you wish to save the log permanently into a file, specify
     a file name after the -file argument.


What should have happened:

	Usage lines should indicate the available options, and should be
consistent with the more detailed descriptions in the help files.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
