Hi Doug,

	Just thought I would write you about an unexpected output from
portmaster to get your opinion. I just ran 'portmaster' alone without
any arguments to get the list of "--help". Surprising enough to me it
searched for a null port and output the following.

===>>> No valid installed port, or port directory given
===>>> Try portmaster --help

Would it be wise if portmaster was run with no arguments that it just
output the '--help' by default ?.


Thanks & Regards,
