I just uploaded a new version of Shell Command Help to RevOnline.
New features added just now (thanks to suggestions on this list):
* You can pick your command from the scrolling list of commands!
* You can adjust the width of the list as needed.
* If retrieving info about a listed command causes LC to quit, you can
reopen this plugin in LC and right-click on the command to permanently
remove it from the list. (To restore all commands to the list, delete the
prefs file. It lives at specialFolderPath() /pdslabs/prefs.)
I was not able to test it on Linux, but it works as expected on Mac & Windows.
Best -

This is great - I'll look into adding a list column to the left of the text
body field.

There's not a nice simple command (afaik), but you can do something along the
lines of (in a mix of LC and shell :-)
echo $PATH > tPaths
set the itemdel to ":"
repeat for each item tFolder in tPaths
set the defaultfolder to tFolder
put the files after tAll
end repeat
doSomeCleverFiltering tAll -- that's a library function you are
assumed to have already written :-)
doSomethingToAddBuiltins tAll -- ditto

Thanks pretty useful if you know already what the command is you need help
with. Looks like you are getting the man pages via a shell call yourself.
What would make this marketable is if there was a way to list all the shell
commands available to the system and present them to the user in a list,
have the user be able to click on a shell command and have the man page
load, and then be able to insert the command into a rev script with the
proper LiveCode syntax. I would pay money for that!

That was just my reaction to the stack -- great if you know what you're
doing already, but you have to know shell commands. (I dropped it into my
Plugins folder anyway....)
Is there a shell command to get all the shell commands on the currently
running system? If so, it should be a snap to expand the stack accordingly.

Hi folks,
I just uploaded a new version of the Shell() Command Help plugin.
New features:
- Search for words in the displayed help text.
- Print the displayed help text.
- Use arrow keys to retrieve previous commands (like the LC message box).
Enjoy!
