Hi,

This idea has now been implemented in r22189
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.science.nmr.relax.scm/19954).  The
output of the help system now looks like:

[edward@localhost relax-trunk]$ ./relax -h
Usage: relax [options] [script_file]

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  UI options:
    -p, --prompt        launch relax in prompt mode after running any
                        optionally supplied scripts
    -g, --gui           launch the relax GUI
    -i, --info          display information about this version of relax
    -v, --version       show the version number and exit
    --licence           display the licence
    --test              run relax in test mode

  Multi-processor options:
    -m MULTIPROCESSOR, --multi=MULTIPROCESSOR
                        set multi processor method
    -n N_PROCESSORS, --processors=N_PROCESSORS
                        set number of processors (may be ignored)

  IO redirection options:
    -l LOG_FILE, --log=LOG_FILE
                        log relax output to the file LOG_FILE
    -t LOG_FILE, --tee=LOG_FILE
                        tee relax output to stdout and the file LOG_FILE

  Test suite options:
    -x, --test-suite    execute the relax test suite
    -s, --system-tests  execute the relax system/functional tests (part of the
                        test suite)
    -u, --unit-tests    execute the relax unit tests (part of the test suite)
    --gui-tests         execute the relax GUI tests (part of the test suite)
    --time              enable the timing of individual tests in the test
                        suite

  Debugging options:
    -d, --debug         enable debugging output
    -e, --escalate      escalate all warnings to errors
    --numpy-raise       convert numpy warnings to errors
[edward@localhost relax-trunk]$


This should now be much clearer for the user.  Suggestions for further
improvements or changes are welcome!

Regards,

Edward
