-.SH EXAMPLES
-Assuming you have already set up the video switch to feed the BVH2500,
-the following script will record (or rerecord) a movie starting at 2 minutes.
-.EX
-still 2.0.0
-wait
-!generate an image
-snap 1
-# repeat the last two lines as necessary
-still mode off
-stop
-.EE
-.br
-.SH BUGS
-The BVH2500 will misbehave if the pause between
-.BR snap s
-(in still record mode) is too long,
-or if you record for many hours on end.
-The latter problem can be avoided by using scripts that run
-for 2 or 3 hours and sleeping for 10 minutes between scripts
-with the tape transport off.
-.br
-Commands in the help list are (incorrectly) capitalized.
