 .LV Basic
 .SY "show <land|nuke|plane|sector|ship> [b|s|c] [tech]"
-.SY "show <bridge|item|tower>"
-The show command describes the characteristics of bridge spans, bridge
-towers, planes, ships, land units, nukes, items and sectors for a
-given technology level.
+.SY "show <bridge|item|news|product|tower>"
+.SY "show <updates> [number]"
+The show command shows characteristics of sectors, units (ships,
+planes, land units and nukes), bridges (spans and towers), items, news
+and products, as well as information on updates.

-The format of each output is more fully described in separate info
+Characteristics are more fully described in separate info
 pages (Ship-types, Nuke-types, etc.).

-Except for bridge (bridge span), items and tower (bridge tower), a
+For sectors and units, a
 further parameter is required to indicate whether you wish information
 about building (b), statistics (s) or capabilities (c) of the selected
 type.
 .s1
-The tech parameter defaults to 1.25 times your current technology
-level.
-.s1
-You can only get information on ships, planes, land units and
-nukes that you are `almost' capable of building (within 1.25 times of
-your current technology level).
+By default, unit characteristics are shown at 1.25 times your current
+technology level.  You can ask for a lower level with the optional
+tech parameter.  Units beyond that level are not shown; you can only
+get information on units that you are already or almost capable of
+building.
