stable 7.0 and nslookup help command

[xer xernet]

Yes, thanx to all of you and your answers..
I'm just a dig user now, but..
The question now is:
- if i want to implement /usr/share/misc/nslookup.help in nslookup (even if nslookup is evil) how can i do that?
I need to know, i want learn this "fact" i will not use nslookup anymore, but i'm still curios HOW was implemented on older STABLE-5.5

Thanx again :-)
