Type `bash -c "help set"' for more information about shell options.
Type `bash -c help' for more information about shell builtin commands.
...those last two arent what i want. i just want an abbreviated list
to remind me what sh -e, sh -f, etc do handy without plodding thru the
man page. this should be available via --help.
