Hi Erik,
> Let me know if you find anything else.
I added a check so that
hol ?
displays the help, and formatted the file to comply with the tab settings
for the rest of DQSD (I think).
Also, I renamed the file hol.xml, which is a well-established convention,
keeping the filename the same as the command name.
I attached the committed file, so you can post it on mangom2.com if you
want.
Cheers,
Kim
