The help text would be pretty easy to put in the LINT file - probably something simple like just putting a comment block above each option, and that will be imported as the help text. However, as far as including a list of required/possible arguments.. hm. Are the arguments listed in the LINT file all the _possible_ arguments for a particular option, or are they just the required ones? I'm hoping it's only the required ones, because then I can just make the user fill those out and let them insert any additional options manually (for now, anyway). Steve.
