Help handling module request

Hello.
About the subject. I thought that would be nice to see a module that will redirect server`s help reply to a seperated pm window. I mean the help tools provided by this ircd are very powerful but not yet convenient for some client programs that consider the help output a unhandled reply and prefixes it with a pretty long string containing the name of the server and or simply strips it. Ant that reply via pm would look good and will be seperated from other server replies concerning different technical stuff.
What can you say about it? Is this feature possible to be introduced by a module?

This is entirely up to the client to do. IMO, if your client doesn't outpu unknown numerics, then it sucks :)

Indeed, although I've never seen a client that does that. Most either just dump the text part or the whole raw msg to the status window. Most clients also support scripting... which means you can set up a numeric handler for it.
