OK. Great. (cheers peter)
But I failed to find any mention of that in 'General commands' in the
manual. And it's not listed in 'help' either. So attached is a patch
for the manual so that people have a fighting chance of discovering
it. (how many other secret commands are there I wonder :-)
Loking at the source I see that ocd_find, echo and capture are all
registered with Jim_CreateCommand and have no help associated with
them because Jim_CreateCommand doesn't support that, whereas
register_command does. I'm not at all familar with this stuff so
hesitate to go fiddling where I don't understand.
But clearly having those commands appear in the help, along with some
explanation would be a useful improvement. And SFAICT neither capture
nor ocd_find appear in the manual either. I haven't added them as I
have no idea what they do.
