Hi Andrew,

The caret_command utility has so many features, it's nearly impossible
to remember them all, so I do this:
caret_command -help-full > /tmp/caret_command.txt
Then, when I need a particular feature, I grep for keywords, e.g.:
grep -i volume /tmp/caret_command.txt | grep -i surface
Of course, you can also just browse the entire help output, but it is
nearly 6200 lines now.
