couple minor help doc tweaks

Jason Quinn wrote on Jan 11, 2009

In the skysep help SYNOPSIS section, "Given to RA/Dec value pairs..." should read "Given two RA/Dec value pairs..."

Also, for this task, perhaps using enum="hr|deg" for the raunit is worthwhile to prevent mistakes like using "hrs" instead of "hr", which would mistakenly use deg instead of hr.

In the external package "fitsutil" (not sure who maintains this), the task nhedit is missing from the menu file and the task fgread is missing the top line of its help file.

Hi Jason,

These have all been fixed for the next release. I'm not sure what you mean about the FGREAD help page though, it looks okay to me. Maybe your stty setting is off??

Thanks,
-Mike

Yep... something was goofy with the stty. Weird... not even doing an "stty resize=yes" would fix it. And it only seemed to be causing a problem with that particular help file. No idea.
