Re: [Axiom-developer] woeful documentation sources

[Bob McElrath]

Since )help does not return anything useful, can we make )help call asq?

It looks like what we want is asq -doc

Asq is a C program that outputs lisp!

It looks like )what and )display read the .daase files, but no axiom
command reads browse.daase, where this documentation lives?  Is that
correct?
