I aiming this to comunity, as Peter made offer. Discusion could be moved to another thread too, as there is no any rush with current release:
What I like about Peter`s offer is:
-one small help.TXT file which extends LIST COMMANDS, LIST FUNCTIONS.
- It could be fast drop - in solution suitable to check syntax and command optionals WITH OPTIONAL multiline notes for USER to fill in himself. Not for absolute newbies, while still helpful. Flash firmware, drop file via terminal and you have some better helper.
- As it would be proper command integrated in firmware, prompt enters is stored in lastcmd buffer. Sometimes it is handy.
How this can be ruined ?
- Help needs to be easy updatable, or corrected if there is no 'official' update but user found error. Or if user wants to add some note , then he EDITs file, makes additions. Means help.txt should be simple TXT file
- big, fat, one file with everything.
TXT databases were created for reason ant flash is not that fast.
I would volunteer if comunity needs just:
~command:command param,[optional param]
With multiline left empty for user to fill, if he needs it
:multi-line if required
I am not the most accurate person and not native english speaker. Maybe another person would be better to volunteer instead
P.S. I already created help system which could be stored in B: and could grow as large as user would want. I created it with idea to be helpful if user does not know exactly what he is searching or dont know EXACT keywoard. I created it to be usefull for newbie like myeself and handy for experenced user if he does not need full info.
I created it for somebody who wants less dependence of main PC
I will make improvements and updates on it time to time, to make it better. As it really is only V0.1 experimental stage.
