Also, a number of system scripts follow the scriptdoc convention. Therefore
you may load the script, type a name it defines, cursor over it, and press
CTRL+F1 to get documentation on the script and its interface.
If you cannot think offhand of specific name defined by the script, you may
use this idiom:
list>{.4!:5&.>i._2[load'script'[4!:5&.>i.2
to get a list.
If you prefer to see the documentation directly in the session, rather than in
a seperate window, you could use scriptdoc manually:
require '~system\extras\util\scripdoc.ijs'
; 1 2 { parse_jscriptdoc_ getscript_jscriptdoc_ 'script'
though I'd hardly call that 'concise'.
