[Info-vax] Suggested DCL enhancement

[Simon Clubley]

Here's an idea for a DCL enhancement: implement a control character that
when typed causes DCL to dump all the valid options or keywords available
at that point by reading from the CLD.

For example, typing:

	$ show device <Ctrl-P>

where <Ctrl-P> is the control character, would result in a list of all
the qualifiers (along with any optional arguments to the qualifiers)
that can be used at that point. The CLD format could also be enhanced
with a single-line help text per qualifier that would also be displayed
as part of the output.

The output would also show that a parameter, labeled as (for example)
"Device_Name", could be supplied at this point as well.

Likewise, typing:

	$ show d<Ctrl-P>

(with no space between the "d" and the Ctrl-P) would show all the valid
options beginning with "d" at that point.

Any comments ?

Simon.
