---------------------------------------
Hi Denis,
Thanks for volunteering to address this.
This issue should be very easy to fix indeed - but it will be great to
familiarize yourself with the (rather complicated) build and test system.
The wiki contains some useful informations for any new contributor:
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbyDev
Basically, you will first need to check-out the latest development trunk of
derby and set-up your environment. See
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/BuildingDerby for the details.
Then, I advise you to build all the jars right now - and to run the regression
test suites. In order to be sure everything is OK before you start modifying
your version.
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbyTesting
By searching thought the wiki and the mailing list, you should find all he
required informations. But feel free to ask is something goes wrong!
----
Concerning this issue per se, help messages are stored in a property file named
"toolsmessages.properties" (This is for the english version; you will find
localized versions in the same folder).
After you made the required changes, you will have to change the master file
for the corresponding test as well. I think this is a file named "ij.out".
Finally re-run the regression test suites in order to verify there is no error
after your changes. And attach your patch here.
Regards,
- Sylvain

> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Tools
> Reporter: Sylvain Leroux
> Priority: Trivial
>
> In ij, some statements seem to assume 80 columns terminal to format their
> output (SHOW FUNCTION, SHOW PROCEDURE).
> But not HELP.
> HELP should assume the same defaults in order to fit nicely in 80 columns
> terminal. An other option would be to dynamically adjust the display to the
> real terminal width - but I don't know if there is a portable way of doing
> this in Java.
