+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I lert
+shows any messages directed to you by Athena Accounts (e.g.
+notification that your account is scheduled for deactivation). Lert is
+run automatically during login to assure that such messages are
+displayed for you in a timely manner. You can also run lert manually
+from the Athena prompt to review such messages. You can acknowledge
+any current messages directed to you by running lert with the -n
+switch. While this will stop the current messages from being
+displayed when you login, it will not prevent you from receiving new
+messages in the future.
+.TP 12
+.B \-n[o]
+acknowledge the current set of messages. The current set of messages
+is shown one last time and you are not shown these messages again.
+.TP
+.B \-q[uiet]
+fail silently if an error occurs while contacting the server.
+.TP
+\fB\-s[erver]\fI hostname \fR
+
+Connect to the lert server "hostname". lert will use Hesiod to determine
+the default server if this option is not specified.
