Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Capture Filter tns.data_flag.rts

There's a distinction between capture filters and display filters.
They use different syntaxes. See:

http://www.wireshark.org/faq.html#q7.7

You *can* use display filters with tethereal, but be warned that
display filters are slower than capture filters. Use "-R" instead of
"-f"
