 Twyt - A Twitter client for the easily distracted
---------------------------------------------------

 How to use
------------

This file used to list the commands available in twyt before its online help
system became sane. This is now available by using the three handy command forms:

  twyt --help
  twyt --commands
  twyt COMMAND --help

Here's an example of the two commands you're most likely to use often:

1.  twyt tweet "My first tweet"\!

    This sets 'My first tweet!' as your Twitter status message.*

2.  twyt friendstl

    This lists up to the last 20 status messages in your friends timeline. (Your
    friends timeline is the aggregation of your status messages and your
    friends' status messages. The 20 limit is enforced by Twitter but you can
    use the -s option to get earlier tweets. You can also use the -P option to
    get the next page of status updates.)

* Note that in command 1 the exclamation mark needed some extra escaping magic.
This is because bash treats ! specially and even putting it inside the quotes
doesn't work.
