- Help gives you information about various topics, including all the
- commands that are available and how to use them. Telling archie about
- your terminal type and size (via the "term" variable) and to use the
- pager (via the "pager" variable) is not necessary to use help, but
- provides a somewhat nicer interface.

-
- about - a blurb about archie
- bugs - known bugs and undesirable features
