Just make a file called 'admin' and put it in files/en/help. Put whatever
is necessary in it.

Actually, 'list' and 'target' (what does that mean, anyway?) are the
arguments. What you're calling arguments are modes or options.

This is not strictly true; in fact, it's probably easier for people to use
command-mode1-mode2-mode3
Do note that this doesn't have to be the final form of the interface; it
was just easy to do like this.
The rest looks pretty good. There is an issue with indicating what
arguments are optional (like the regexp in the who command) and I'm still
not sure that people are going to understand the modes anyway. Putting
them in parentheses like that probably isn't going to help.
Thanks a bunch for this; I'll slot it in when I finish the big rewrite I'm
in the middle of.
