i never would came to the idea write options
not EXACTLY like they are in the documentation

if you work exactly and careful it does not matter
if not do not maintain a server at all

enough people are using my stuff outside the mysql world
and the all are able to enter things like they are in the
documentation, and i am speaking about noobs, not admins

if you are a server admin you have to be careful what
you type or you are doing the wrong job
sever software does not need to be friendly
it does not need to think what you mean
you have to excactly specify what you mean
sounds liek you are a windows guy
try "LS", "DF" or whatever on a unix terminal
you will get error messages as response
