+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Calcurse is a text-based personal organizer which helps keeping track of
+events and everyday tasks. It contains a calendar, a 'todo' list, and
+puts your appointments in order. The user interface is configurable,
+and one can choose between different color schemes and layouts.
+All of the commands are documented within an online help system.
+.PP
+.SH OPTIONS
+The following options are supported:
+.TP
+.B \-a
+Print the appointments and events for the current day and exit.
+.br
+\fINote:\fP the calendar from which to read the appointments can be specified using
+the '\-c' flag.
+.TP
+.B \-c
+Specify the calendar file to use. The default calendar is
+.B "'~/.calcurse/apts'"
+(see section \fIFILES\fP below).
+.TP
+.B \-d
+Print the appointments and events for the given date or for
+the given number of upcoming days, depending on the argument format.
+Two possible formats are supported:
+.RS 9
+.TP 2
+\(bu a date of the form 'mm/dd/yyyy'.
+.TP 2
+\(bu a number 'n'.
+.RE
+.RS 7
+.LP
+In the first case, the appointments and events list for the specified
+date will be returned, while in the second case the appointments and events
+list for the 'n' upcoming days will be returned.
+.br
+As an example, typing 'calcurse -d 3' will display your appointments
+and events for today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.
+.br
+\fINote:\fP as for the '-a' flag, the calendar from which to read the
+appointments can be specified using the '\-c' flag.
+.RE
+.TP
+.B \-h
+Print a short help text describing the supported command-line options,
+and then exit.
+.TP
+.B \-t
+Print the 'todo' list and exit.
+.TP
+.B \-v
+Display calcurse version and exit.
+.SH NOTES
+Calcurse interface contains three different panels (calendar,
+appointment list, and todo list) on which you can perform different
+actions. All the possible actions, together with their associated
+keystrokes, are listed on the status bar. This status bar
+takes place at the bottom of the screen.
+.PP
+At any time, the built-in help system can be invoked by pressing the '?'
+key. Once viewing the help screens, informations on a specific command
+can be accessed by pressing the keystroke corresponding to that command.
+.PP
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The calcurse options can be changed from the configuration menu (shown
+when 'C' is hit). Three possible categories are to be chosen from : the
+color scheme, the layout (the location of the three panels on the
+screen), and more general options (such as automatic save before
+quitting). All of these options are detailed in the configuration menu.
+.PP
+.SH FILES
+The following structure is created in your $HOME directory the first
+time calcurse is run :
+.PP
+.HP 10
+$HOME/.calcurse/
+.br
+|___conf
+.br
+|___apts
+.br
+|___todo
+.PP
+The \fIconf\fP file contains the user configuration. The \fIapts\fP
+file contains all of the user's appointments, and the \fItodo\fP
+file contains the todo list.

+.PP
+.SH BUGS
+Incorrect highlighting of items appear when using calcurse black and
+white theme together with a \fB$TERM\fP variable set to
+\fIxterm-color\fP.
+To fix this bug, and as advised by Thomas E. Dickey (xterm maintainer),
+\fIxterm-xfree86\fP should be used instead of \fIxterm-color\fP to set
+the \fB$TERM\fP variable:
+ "The xterm-color value for $TERM is a bad choice for XFree86
+ xterm because it is commonly used for a terminfo entry which
+ happens to not support bce. Use the xterm-xfree86 entry
+ which is distributed with XFree86 xterm (or the similar one
+ distributed with ncurses)."
+.PP
+If you find other bugs, please send a report to calcurse@culot.org or to the
+author, below.
