(PM) show xxx

Is there any hope of getting ComOS to provide *useful* help for (in
particular) `show'?

e.g. ComOS 3.7.2 on a PM3:

io.mixi.net> show
Error: usage: show S0-S29,P0,all,memory,netconns,netstat,routes

Hah! Where is everything else?

In most cases, the usage information is worthless (to me), since most
of the options aren't listed...and it's the esoteric ones that I
probably want the help on. (I don't want to drag out the book, since
that slows me down, the cover let go the second time I opened it, and
the binding is about to break. Livingston/Lucent should find out who
prints O'Reilly's nearly-indestructible books. :)

io.mixi.net> save
Error: Usage: save Port_Name|all|location|password|hosts|routes|filter

On a whim, I tried `save ospf', and of course it worked. Even the
paper configuration guide doesn't list everything available.

Do I need to submit this as an RFE?
