Subject:	General WHOIS++ help
Maintained-by:	peterd@bunyip.com
Comments:	Welcome to the experimental WHOIS++ server.  This server is
		being developed by the GDS gang, and will include a number of
		advancements over the traditional WHOIS service, whenever we
		get it done.  Just keep checking back here and running help
		('?' or "help")...

The following commands are recognized (but not yet processed):

         SEARCH COMMANDS                SYSTEM COMMANDS
       attribute = <string>          list           (lists valid templates)
       value     = <string>          show <template> (for contents of template)
       handle    = <string>          constraints    (lists legal constraints)
       template  = <string>          help <optionalstring>
       <string> (implies SEARCH ALL)

"help" is actually a special class of template, so you can specify a full
search on the various parts. Try "help help" for more information.
