How to use the EPIC help system

++ New users should use "/help 7 new_user" before proceeding further. ++

The basic system has not changed from previous releases of the client.
What has changed is the structure of the helpfiles, and the helpfiles
themselves.  Helpfiles are now organized in logical groups of commands,
similar to the Unix manual system.

   Section 1: General Commands           Section 5: Programming EPIC
   Section 2: Server Queries             Section 6: Builtin Functions
   Section 3: IRC Operator Commands      Section 7: Documentation
   Section 4: Miscellaneous Commands     Section 8: Script Library

The implication of this, however, is that HELP can't work the same way
as it used to.  In order to read a helpfile now, its section number must
also be given.  Thus, where one previously obtained help on WHOIS with
"/help whois", one must now use "/help 2 whois".

Another change is the references to related topics in individual helpfiles,
which is another similarity to Unix man pages.  To better help users ease
into the new format, all topic references in the "See Also" sections will
include a Unix-ish section reference, such as "whois(2)".

  ++ If you have not yet read "/help 7 new_user", please do so now. ++
