Hi Cinnastar!
The man function was added in quite a while ago, I’m just adding hints and docs so people can know its there. I’m also trying to make the path more clear.
Historically, DOS wasn’t entirely MS-DOS. Microsoft was successful in throwing their weight around, but there were other variants, some with different sets of commands. In an alternate universe where Unix and Linux did not get very far, there could be a space for man in there.
Plus, the –ly switch doesn’t make sense with help. 🤣
The ‘interpreter’, to be generous, is a set of multiple functions that needs to be rewritten for fixtext /? to work properly without breaking the game further into the story, or for help to handle more than just kicking off the story.
The context for everything as it is now is: this was a funny shitpost between my kid and I that spiraled wildly out of control and now I have a few copies of the Visual DOS Concise User’s Guide on my desk, and there’s a window with bootloader code because we wanted to see if we could make it a real OS 🤣🤣
I will make QOL improvements on it tho. I keep putting it away and coming back to it.
