When you type HELP for a topic that doesn't have a helpfile, you get the same menu you would if you typed HELP by itself. Say HELP IAMTESTINGTHESYSTEM I get this:

Code: Select all

Help files related to 'IAMTESTINGTHESYSTEM'
===========================================
The help you were searching for does not exist, however some of these links
may help you find what you are looking for:
No relevant helps found - try navigating to it from the main menu!
Adventurer's Guide
==================
Type the letter of the topic and hit enter.

 (A) Areas                               (B) Classes                            
 (C) Combat                              (D) Communication                      
 (E) Deities                             (F) Game Interface                     
 (G) Information Commands                (H) Movement                           
 (I) Object Commands                     (J) Organisations                      
 (K) Policies                            (L) Races                              
 (M) Roleplaying                         (N) Skills, Spells and Trades

Same as HELP by itself:

Code: Select all

Adventurer's Guide
==================
Type the letter of the topic and hit enter.

 (A) Areas                               (B) Classes                            
 (C) Combat                              (D) Communication                      
 (E) Deities                             (F) Game Interface                     
 (G) Information Commands                (H) Movement                           
 (I) Object Commands                     (J) Organisations                      
 (K) Policies                            (L) Races                              
 (M) Roleplaying                         (N) Skills, Spells and Trades          
 (O) Summary of Commands                 (P) Useful Commands   

However, on the first case when you type HELP IAMTESTINGTHESYSTEM if you tried to hit E for DEITIES, instead of getting you the HELP DEITIES helpfile, you end up moving east. Anyway to make it to where the helpfile when you can't find what your looking for is the exact format as the command HELP by itself?

I tested this by typing help (on the test port) and then another random keyword (often nonsensical) and confirmed it.
help iamtesting

Alas, you cannot go that way.
This was the case when I both typed enter and then e, or e twice in order to advance to the end of the help screen.
