:help top-level command

$Revision: 5.0.2.3 $

Arguments: &optional command-name

Without an argument, print a summary of the commands, mostly consisting of name, abbreviation, and valid arguments; if command-name is present, then print more detailed documentation about this command.

This command will print a `page' of output at a time (page is defined below). When a page has been output, the system will pause. Entering a return at that point will cause the next page to be displayed. Entering a number causes the command to take that value as the page size (the value holds for this call to :help only). Any fixnum may be entered. A negative or zero value causes the remainder of the output to be displayed with no further breaks.

A page is defined to be tpl:*help-page-lenegth* number of lines, if the value of that variable is a positive integer. If the value is negative or zero, :help will print without pausing.

The minimal abbreviation of :help is :he.
