	p4 does something similar to that...in fact, that might be a very good 
model:

    p4 is Perforce's client tool for the command line.  Try:

        p4 help commands      list all commands
        p4 help command       help on a specific command

        p4 help charset       help on character set translation
        p4 help environment   list environment and registry variables
        p4 help filetypes     list supported file types
        p4 help jobview       help on jobview syntax
        p4 help revisions     help on specifying file revisions
        p4 help usage         generic command line arguments
        p4 help views         help on view syntax
