@Peter,

The help works nice. Both console as well as VGA. I am happy you find a scroll solution, for some commands it is needed (i.e. help "math *" that shows all math commands. The math functions are fewer (help "math(*" ).

Some minor things.
1 - With current entry model you cannot filter only "MATH C" without getting the whole list of MATH C_ADD, MATH C_SUB etc..
2 - Since the word after help is always a string, auto insert the leading quote (the trailing quote is not needed for the command to perform).
3 - Since you don't want to type the whole search line (does not work, see 1-), the trailing character will always be a "*" wildcard. Auto insert that.

@Electricat,

Super !! You already created a basic help file. You said you yourself would work with the extended version. I would appreciate the full version, since that would be really helpful when the scroll mechanism is in place in RC17. It is then to the user to either add the verbose, or non-verbose version.

This is a nice addition to an already perfect basic platform.
