Why not use TAB to complete the commands like some Unix/Linux shells?
I rather like being able to type part of the command and press tab to
have the shell finish it, or show the matches to the partial typed command.
I hate having to type help and read through the list of commands every
time I forget how to spell the command on my KPC3+
