help | ? -- display command information
|

|
|
syntax: help [string]

ex: help

help topics
|
|
?cat
|
|
|
|
'help' or '?' alone prints a list of built-in commands.
|
|
|
|
'help' or '?' followed by a command name or topic prints information
|
|
on that command or topic. Type "help topics" for a list of available
|
|
help topics.
|
|
|
|
It is not necessary to put a blank after the '?' command.
|
|
|
|
Note about ALIASES: 'help' doesn't currently understand aliases.
|
|
To get help on a "command" like "dir" (really an alias for 'cat')
|
|
you have to type "help cat" (or "?cat"), not "help dir". ['Help'
|
|
may be more intelligent about aliases in a future version of Davex;
|
|
for now, you'll have to type "alias" to see what the real name for
|
|
your command is.]
|
|
|
|
To save disk space, most of the help files have been compressed and
|
|
included in the file "indexed.help" in the help directory. The
|
|
help directory is normally %help, but the 'config' command can be
|
|
used to put the help somewhere else. When you ask for help on a
|
|
given topic, 'help' always looks for a file with the same name in
|
|
the help directory before consulting the indexed help file.
