Thanks for the speedy response, Danny. So you recommend I run something like:
asterisk -vvvvr | tee ast-help.txt Then when I need help on a command I request it on the command line, exit to the shell, edit (or whatever) the .txt file to find the command syntax I am looking for, then re-enter the asterisk cli? Kind of defeats the purpose of 'online help' doesn't it? Not trying to be a smart-a$$, just hoping to find something a little smoother. Is there a better way, or is help as useless as it is starting to appear?

I can't hit ctrl-s fast enough so I miss most of the info. This makes 'help' be not much help.
