                    WHOIS++ HELP ABOUT HELP

The WHOIS++ HELP facility is not yet working. Eventually, it is expected that
there will be HELP on multiple subjects, covering different aspects of the
system. You will then be able to enter "HELP subject" and the system will
search for all help templates with the string "subject".

The HELP command is actually just a special case of the general template
oriented searching facility. Thus, you can also enter any ordinary search,
using the keyword specifier "template=HELP", to restrict the search to the
HELP templates.  For example: "template=help; value=mail, fuzzy" will show
help information about mail, with the system doing a "fuzzy" match on the word
"mail" (this just means that the system will try to find words that sound like
mail, and might turn up "male", "mail", etc). By default, help looks at both
attributes and values, but not handles or tmplates, unless you override it
with the "template=HELP" technique.

Remember:
	To get the general introduction to WHOIS++, you just enter "help".
	As you have found, to get help about help you enter "help help".
	To access help on a general topic, you enter "help <topic>".
