12.16: The `help' Command

`help [*|command_name|{- topic}]'

Give help on a command or topic.

  • `help' Print a general help message.

  • `help *' Prints complete help info.

  • `help command_name' Prints help on the command whose name begins with the string `command_name'. The string may be several words long; e.g. `help set' or `help set x axis'.

  • `help - topic_name' The minus sign tells Gri that the string to follow it is a topic, not a command. Topics Gri knows about are listed by the one-word `help' request.
