and then to use the command line interface, run motw.

$ motw -h
Usage: motw [options]

Options:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  -t, --text  Print plain-text version of help to stdout
  -w, --web   Open HTML version of help from web
  --html      Open HTML version of help from installed file

For example, motw abc opens the local version of this week’s article. You can also use the “-w” option to go to my web site instead of reading the local version, so you always have the latest version of an article.
