	SYNTAX										TYPE: command
		help	commands  [TO/OVER/AFTER pathnames]
				QUERY
				PAGELENGTH = number

	PARAMETERS
		QUERY			prompt user for permission to process each file
		PAGELENGTH		maximum number of lines in output page, default is 66
						ignored unless output is directed to a file

	DESCRIPTION
		Display information about the given commands.  If no parameters are
		given information about the help command will be displayed.  If no
		output pathnames are given, the output will be done via the SKIM
		command (see the SKIM command for the internal command set).

		Each help file has ".hlp" append to the end.  If the file name
		becomes too long the excess part of the extension ".hlp" will be
		truncated.  Where the help information is stored is determined by
		the contents of the help.mac file that is in the same directory as
		the help command.  The file contains the names of the directories
		that will be used when searching for help files.  The directories
		should be on seperate lines or seperated by commas.  The following
		lists the contents of the help.mac file (Note the trailing
		slashes on the directory pathnames).

						:prog:
						:sd:helps/system/
						:sd:helps/utils/
						:sd:helps/uprocs/
						:$:

		This structure allows for expansion of the HELP command in the
		future.

		Indirect help files can be created by using an at sign (@) as the
		first character in the help file, followed by the indirect command
		name.  For example: an indirect help file for the ATTACHDEVICE
		command under the name AD would contain; "@attachdevice".

		To obtain a listing of the help files on paper, the wildcards can
		be used.  For example, to get a listing of all the helps on the
		utils directory use the following command stream:

				attachfile :utils:
				help * to :home:utils.lst
				paginate :home:utils.lst to :lp: pw=80 notitle
				attachfile

		Any commands in the :utils: directory which do not have help files
		in any of the directories specified in help.mac will cause an error
		message to that effect to be printed.
