40.Op Fl d Ar delay
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42.Nm
43is modeled after the
44.Tn VAX/VMS
45program of the same name.
46To obtain the proper effect, either the terminal must be set for 9600 baud
47or the
48.Fl d
49option must be used to specify a delay, in milliseconds, between each update.
50A reasonable delay is 120; the default is 0.
51.Pp
52As with any
53.Xr curses 3
54program, the
55.Ev TERM
56environment variable must be set (and exported) to the type of the
57terminal being used.
