Synopsis:
help [<topic> [<subtopic> ...]]
Description:
As its name implies, HELP is the command for getting help with some
feature of the client. Currently, the EPIC help system divides the
various help documents up into logical groups, each group is given a
unique section number.
Help files are uniformly structured. All files include, at the very
least, a synopsis and description (such as this file). Some files
also include a description of switches accepted by the command, a
list of aliases to the command, bug warnings, or other miscellaneous
information.
Some also include a list of related help topics. These references are
usually followed by a number in parentheses. This number is the help
section that the command is listed under. Help file names are not
sensitive to case (e.g. "HELP" is the same as "help"), and they may be
abbreviated unambiguously (e.g. "hel" is the same as "help", but "wh"
is ambiguous because it matches "who", "whois", "whowas", etc.).
Options:
-wait this will stop script processing until the user is finished
in the help system
Examples:
To get help on the WHOIS command (in section 3):
/help 3 whois
To list all of the help files in section 3 (server queries):
/help 3 ?
To list all help sections:
/help
