Hmm; should this print an error (missing command) or the list, and -help 
print the list?

Since there's an info command what were <<regs vector>> et.al. can 
probably be made <<info vector>> et.al.

nice edge case; does the converse <<help info>> work?  Like "run", the 
class probably needs an explicit check for -help; option parsing would 
be overkill.
