Not to be rude, but that is just about useless help.  Not everyone is a 
programmer, or is deep into compiling nitros9.  Just saying. :-)
If you have used the help command/system created by Tim Kientzle..... 
that is the kind of help that is needed for non programmers.  I have 
been adding commands, and updating commands to match the newer nitros9 
commands as I find them.

Ya, I got that. what I need is what the params mean, and what values do 
what. are they hex, are the binary, etc.  The param names have been 
changed through the years. Many of them are self explanitory, but some 
of them are not.
I will look at the source and try to figure it out.

Thanks for the reply though!


P.S. I'n not a total idiot, although perhaps a bit lazy. he he he :-)
