   Rounding the corner to completion on a project   
   I've worked on for 5 or 6 years & now I'm stumped   
   by a very simple thing...   
      
   When the user passes no arguments, I default to   
   the panel below, yet I wonder if its expressed   
   concisely enough to avoid confusion or promote it...   
      
   I don't feel its too bad, but then again I know   
   what its doing while others wont.   
      
   Hoping to read responses on you'd express this.   
      
   Syntax: tinybase OPTION - INPUT   
      
   Options (use 1 option per invocation):   
      
   Tag query:       -q 'comma seperated queries'   
   Tag index:       -t   
   Tinybase manual: -m   
      
   Input:   
      
   File list: - file1 file2 file3   
   Stdin:     - < manual.txt   
      
   --
