     Name
          help - Asks for help with  commands and SCCS error messages.

     Syntax
          help [command] [imessagenumber]

     Description
          help provides on-line explanations of most commonly-used
          commands.  help also displays information explaining SCCS
          error messages.  Multiple arguments can be supplied.  If no
          arguments are given, help will prompt for one.

          The arguments may be  command names or SCCS message numbers.
          Message numbers are displayed at the end of SCCS error
          messages.  SCCS message numbers come in two forms:  numbers
          and letter-number combinations (for example, ge6 or 212).

          When all else fails, try ``help stuck''.
