Thanks for the help Tim. I just copied and pasted your code into a
file in my $PYTHONPATH (IndentedHelpFormatterWithNL.py), but I'm
getting the following error:
class IndentedHelpFormatterWithNL(IndentedHelpFormatter):
NameError: name 'IndentedHelpFormatter' is not defined
I tried adding: from optparse imoport IndentedHelpFormatter into the
aforementioned file, but no luck again. What am I missing???
Thanks.
