well, "pd --help" works perfectly and writes the help to the stderr.
however, on windows, the stderr is sent to nirvana (there have been a

archives)

but you are quite right this should be fixed somehow
(otoh, i guess that miller want people to use the preferences-settings 
instead of flags (and .bat-files))
