[ALLY] form hiding Re:(3)

Allen,
Thanks for the tools - should come in useful.
In general though I think there should be a more simple way of accessing
help for words defined in dialects.
For example, this clearly shows what input does
>> ? input
USAGE:
INPUT /hide
DESCRIPTION:
Inputs a string from the console. New-line character is removed.
INPUT is a function value.
REFINEMENTS:
/hide -- Mask input with a * character
We need something along the lines of ....
>> help/vid field
USAGE:
FIELD hide
DESCRIPTION:
Inputs a string from the view window. New-line character is removed.
FIELD is a style value.
REFINEMENTS:
hide -- Mask input with a * character
Carl and co, any thoughts?
cheers, john

Hi John,
These might help..
To print a list of style names use you can use this
print-styles: func [
{Print List of Styles in master stylesheet}
/sheet style-sheet [block!]{Specify a style sheet other than master}
][
if not sheet [style-sheet: system/view/vid/vid-styles]
foreach [style object] style-sheet [print style]
]
