Hi --
On Athena, "help" is a command which gives you a menu-driven documentation
browser -- on-line help (OLH). To read about a specific command, use the
"man" command -- for the manual page. So, you probably wanted to type:
man finger
"help <commandname>" should probably return a more useful error message.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
