190 How to use this with help:
191 # function 'summary'
192 [xxx] is just a category
193 Every 'sub-level' in this list should be replaces by a '.' Period when
194 using help
195 Example:
196 ASAP> help scantable # to get info on ths scantable
197 ASAP> help scantable.summary # to get help on the scantable's
198 ASAP> help average_time
