\subsection{The SICS Help System}
SICS has a very simple help system. It is based on plain text files
containing the help texts. There is a default help file which is
printed when help is called without arguments. Other help files are
printed by the command: help name. The name of the text file is then
name.txt. This file is earched in a configurable small set of
directories. This allows to separate general SICS help files and
instrument specific help files.
This system is implemented as a module defined in help.c. The
interface is simply the interpreter function implementing the help
command. There is also a function for removing the data associated
with help.
