Historically, online help is contained in helpmsg in the /DD/Sys 
directory. Many OS-9 programs also contained built-in syntax 
instructions. The latter is being removed from most of the NitrOS-9 
package to conserved memory when system programs are loaded. The Help 
command accesses the specific parts of helpmsg relating to any other 
command, ex. help os9gen        gives you the syntax for os9gen.

If you are thinking of writing documentation rather than short syntax 
instructions, that probably should be confined to separate non-Coco 
files such as html, Word, or pdf files.
