Oh, yes, it's just you :-) Using the two-letter abbreviations is the
worst thing I can imagine and I have always trouble guessing the proper
command name from it. It is easier for shortcuts such as "ci" for
"commit" because this is also supported by CVS nevertheless I strongly
suggest to use the long form in examples and to reproduce bugs ...
I also tried already to use "setprop" but once I get an error message I
just continue trying "propset" (or "propertyset, ...) so I find the
proper command usually after not more than two guesses. "pg" I used
never in the past ...
