The only LC_* I have set is LC_ALL="C". The NROFF line from man.conf is: NROFF /usr/bin/nroff -mandoc -c > > [...] > > In general, when giving help, whether with tab-completion or some > > other mechanism (such as "help --help") when there are more than a > > few options, we want to give the user less than a screenful of > > information giving them a few options on how to get more > > information of a more specific nature.

I believe the limitations of the current completion system keep us from making optimal use of help in the terminal. Currently "help <tab>" creates several pages of output which I think is too much. One work-around would be to violate one of the design principles and create "help-command" and "help-topic" functions in addition to plain "help".
