# Line 157 | Line 157 | how to adjust the exposure for each frame.
157   As in
158   .I pfilt,
159   the exposure setting may be given either as a multiplier or as a
160 < number of f-stop adjustments (eg. +2 or -1.5).
160 > number of f\-stop adjustments (eg. +2 or \-1.5).
161   Alternatively, a file name may be given, which
162   .I ranimate
163   will interpret as having one exposure value per line per frame,
# Line 271 | Line 271 | before it is executed.
271   Normally, the transfer command does something such as convert the
272   frames to another format and/or copy them to tape or some other
273   destination device before removing them.
274 + The
275 + .I fieldcomb(1)
276 + script may be used to conveniently combine fields into frames for
277 + field-based animations.
278   If this variable is not given, the final frames are left where they
279   are.

# Line 279 | Line 283 | above.)\0

284   .BR RSH
285   The command to use instead of
286 < .I rsh(1)
286 > .I ssh(1)
287   to execute commands remotely on another machine.
288   The arguments and behavior of this program must be identical to the UNIX
289 < .I rsh
289 > .I ssh
290   command, except that the
291   .I -l
292   option will always be used to specify an alternate user name rather than the
293   .I "user@host"
294   convention.
295 < Th
295 > The
296   .I -l
297   option may or may not appear, but the
298   .I -n
299   option will always be used, and the expected starting directory will
300   be that of the remote user, just as with
301 < .I rsh.

304   This variable specifies the next
# Line 352 | Line 356 | If this number is less than 2, then bluring is perform

384 > For example, if you wish to simulate a 50mm lens at f/2.0 in

386 > which corresponds to an effective aperture of 0.025 meters.
387 > The default aperture is 0, meaning no depth-of-field blurring.
388   This option does not currently work with the
389   .I ANIMATE
390   variable, since pinterp only works for static environments.
# Line 464 | Line 489 | If we only want to see what default values
489   would use without actually executing anything, we can invoke it
490   thus:
491   .IP "" .2i

492 > ranimate \-n \-e sample.ran
493   .PP
494   This will print the variables we have given as well as default
495   values
