Hi,

When I do:

geoDisplay -h

i see:

[acampove@thinkbook Detector]$ geoDisplay -h

and when I do

geoDisplay --help

i see:

shouldn't that show me the help menu, e.g. the arguments that the command takes? Am I missing anything? As far as I understand, this is the universal convention for any command line utility.
