If this is the way you are calling mumps we should rather provide a
wrapper doing this.  WHat do you think?

 Error in GT.M  help utility
I just uploaded a package with your patch which shows the help properly.
Note: As a beginner it is definitely *not* intuitively to leave this
help - I neede to interupt by ^C.

[amul:2] Could explain this a bit more? It may not be obvious but hitting return/enter a few times will exit the user from the "Topic?" prompt.

[amul:2] Bhaskar spent a bit of time crafting a script called gtm in the installation directory. Assuming that GT.M is installed in /opt/fis-gtm/V6.0-003_x8664/, execute /opt/fis-gtm/V6.0-003_x8664/gtm. Here is what I see when I use GT.M as installed from FIS's GT.M distribution tar ball.

[amul:2] Should we include a getting started section in the README?

thanks,
