Subject: [RFA] Fix/improve on-line help of 'define' command.
Date: Mon, 04 Jun 2018 21:31:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180604213136.32395-1-philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> (raw)

While I was playing with 'define' to understand how some quoting was
done (or not done), I found an inconsistency between the doc
and the online help.
=> the doc is correct, so fixing/improving the on-line help.

	* cli/cli-script.c (_initialize_cli_script): Fix online documentation
        of 'define' command.
