Hi! I tried out the keyword searching in "help -tty". It does actually
let you do keyword searching (and no longer crashes), but it also
gives you errors and messes up the screen a little.
The screen ends up saying:
ERROR!
olhNumber: reconstructing path
But I think that it's really two messages overwriting each other --
one that is a message saying "ERROR! olh_ascii:reconstructing path",
and one that is just saying "Number:" (which is what it should say).
I think that most people won't know that they can go ahead and type in
the number there, so they will assume that help is broken.
To try this out yourself, do:
help -tty
k
and then enter a number
Thanks,
Carla
