233 # function 'summary'
234 [xxx] is just a category
235 Every 'sub-level' in this list should be replaces by a '.' Period when
236 using help
237 Example:
238 ASAP> help scantable # to get info on ths scantable
239 ASAP> help scantable.summary # to get help on the scantable's
240 ASAP> help average_time
