Then what is the motivation for this? We have many sources of help. I have never heard of any user not being able to find help. > Having "help" do something > other than throw a syntax error is a very common feature in many > interactive programs, for example openssl, gdb, ftp, bash, mail, > telnet, and vim. The difference with these tools is that they don't already tell you how to get help when you log in. Now I have actually thought for a while whether we could get rid of the login text altogether. I would support trading that for extended help options. But if the login note is there, then we don't need more help options. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
