well, you could have done something like this:
C-h a stamp RET
gives you description like this:
If you move the mouse over text that changes color,
you can click mouse-2 to get more information.
In this buffer, type RET to get full documentation.
bbdb-timestamp-newer M-x bbdb-timestamp-newer RET
Command: *Display records with timestamp newer than DATE.
bbdb-timestamp-older M-x bbdb-timestamp-older RET
Command: *Display records with timestamp older than DATE.
time-stamp M-x time-stamp RET
Command: Update the time stamp string in the buffer.
time-stamp-toggle-active M-x time-stamp-toggle-active RET
Command: Toggle `time-stamp-active', setti [. . .]
then you could click mouse-2 on the 'Command:' under the 'time-stamp'
entry to get a description.
See, it's really quite simple.
