Another approach would be a help viewer for the command-line.
/etc/brltty/brltty-*.hlp is binary encoded, which is unfortunate.
The viewer could even use BrlAPI to detect the display in use and
present the correct help text automatically.

Come to think of it, the help files should be in /usr/share/brltty/ehlp,
because a user is not supposed to edit them (and they are binary).  Same goes 
for
the saved preferences, they actually belong in /var.
