Software documentation, who ever thought of such a thing!

In general there is no information about "the result" of a command (there is
nowhere to put this in the "Index" stack just a description field). It does
make sense to add this and update all the help entires to include this
information, if only to save Scott's time in the long run. But then again in
the short run...

Also I couldn't find anything documenting the sytax:

    put url "http://whatever was cached" into field 1

I thought spaces weren't allowed in URL's. Well, well, live and learn -:)
