#+TITLE: mycmd
* NAME
mycmd - does very important things
* SYNOPSIS
mycmd.pl -u bla [-R] [-A] [-n] [-a] 
* DESCRIPTION
mycmd could be configured by setting environment variable MYCMD_OPT
<--------------snap---------------->

The man page looks like this:

mycmd(1)                                         General Commands
Manual                                         mycmd(1)



NAME
       mycmd - does very important things

SYNOPSIS
       mycmd.pl -u bla [-R] [-A] [-n] [-a]

DESCRIPTION
       mycmd could be configured by setting environment variable
MYCMDOPT



As you can see the _ (underscore) in MYCMD_OPT vanished.
