Hi, I found some points where newest HHSTNDRD (FreeDOS HELP command) is
outdated. First of all, it tells that it is "2003 by Rob..." instead of
2003-2004... Oh, and sometimes you have to press ESC instead of <- to go
back to the previous page. And APROPOS/WHATIS often displays strings twice
(in a row, so this should be easy to filter out).

Outdated descriptions are: FDAPM, MODECON, MODE, GRAPHICS (both the coms
have been updated and a graphics,bat has been added), FORMAT (check the
/Z:longhelp text or the documentation), CHKDSK, SCANDISK, SHSUCDX, NANSI,
SORT, FIND (maybe), SYS. Please check the ... /? output of the current
versions and the documentation again. MODECON and SCANDISK are deprecated.

Thanks for updating :-).

I hope that I did not miss too many other bugs, only had a quick look at
help topics for which I felt that recent updates or MS / FreeDOS differences
should be described. EMM386 / HIMEM is a bit "in state of transition" but it
is probably safe to document the syntax which is used at this moment.

Eric.
