a lot of commands aren't fully described in the help system.

also doing /help <word> should bring up just the help on <word> not the whole page it's found on.

The file format used (to my understanding) doesn't have that ability. So it's not a case of it not being finished. If someone has a few thousand hours to spare volunteering to type the help file up in a system that does (I think .chm does this) I am sure Khaled would consider letting them do-so.

Some commands work differently from one network to another too.


Never compare yourself to others - they're more screwed up than you think.

Which commands aren't documented? Remember that some commands aren't documented because they are deprecated and have been replaced with newer commands. I can only think of one off the top of my head which isn't in the helpfile (/setlayer). Obviously if you know of more then it would be helpful for someone (ie. you) to supply them to help Khaled and Tjerk keep the helpfile up-to-date.

I would like to see anchors to send people to a certain place within a page in the helpfile, I think I suggested it before the forums went down, but I'm not really certain I got round to it.

Watchdog: Help files can have anchors, even the IRC Intro distributed with mIRC has them.

Poppy: The commands documented in the helpfile are all mIRC commands, not IRC server ones.

Oops, replied to the wrong person. Only the 'Watchdog:...' line was meant for you.
