When you say XPs help do you mean the GUI help tool?
There isn't much in there.
For DOS things use the DOS help tool.
Type HELP CMD at the DOS prompt.

It seems to me that the Command Prompt window is important enough in
the use of Python to warrant a full page somewhere to its
applicability. Well, if not, then I'll make do with what I've seen

Yes, to a potential bad idea. I'm not quite sure why I put that in

are some other entries where I want to know the location of the file.
For example, the mask file. I likely want to load that file

I've found others like that, but I was looking for something more
descriptive. Things like typing fill-in, or cut/paste, use of F8, etc.
