100+ commands confuse the hell out of most people. Should I use rbrowse or abrowse? get or grab? changes or diff? update or replay? I can go on and on. We could show everything if the everything is self consistant and orthogonal; however tla is clearly not the case. Anyway, in my patch, you can still get all the commands from tla help -a. Two extra letters shouldn't be that big of a problem? Derek
