Here's an older help.txt, but it would need to have 6.01 / 6.02 additions added to it.

help.zip

I don't know which version it applied to.

PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on FOTS

@Peter,

RP2040 VGA.
When using above help file, searching for an item requires and asterix.

help MM.VRES does not work
help MM.VRES* does work (not that the help is very useful in this file)

Has this always been that way ? I never used the help function before.

Harm,

This depends on how you saved mm.vres.
~mm.vres or ~mm
Keep the command and function names as short as possible after ~, and it's best to use the command and function list.
Here's my help.txt list for the Dutch speakers among us, which I still have to update regularly in mmedit, after which I can send it from a single point to my various microcontrollers.
It's also helpful to put the help under a function key. OPTION F1 "help "

> option list
PicoMite MMBasic RP2350B V6.02.01RC3
OPTION FLASH SIZE 16777216
OPTION COLOR CODE ON
OPTION PICO OFF
OPTION CPU SPEED (KHz) 200000
OPTION DISPLAY 50, 100
OPTION F1 help
OPTION F5 list commands
OPTION F6 list functions
OPTION F7 list pins
OPTION F8 option list
OPTION F9 flash run 1
OPTION PLATFORM WeAct-RP2350B-FLASH:16-PSRAM:8
OPTION PSRAM PIN GP0

help.txt-V6.02.00.txt.zip

Jan.
