166    Note:
167        How to use this with help:
168                                         # function 'summary'
169        [xxx] is just a category
170        Every 'sub-level' in this list should be replaces by a '.' Period when
171        using help
172        Example:
173            ASAP> help scantable # to get info on ths scantable
174            ASAP> help scantable.summary # to get help on the scantable's
175            ASAP> help average_time
