Do I make a help verb for my game like this?
mob
verb
help
alert("What do you need help on?","Help")in list("|","-"))
if("|")
alert("~~~~~~~~~~")
if("-")
alert("~~~~~~~~~~~")

or is it different than this?
More like this:

mob
verb
help()
var/list/topics = list("|", "-")
switch(input(src, "What do you need help on?", "Help") in topics)
if("|")
alert(src, "Help for | goes here.")
if("-")
alert(src, "Help for - goes here.")
In response to Foomer
ok thank you
In response to Foomer
mob
verb
help(var/V = null in list("A","B","C"))
switch(V)
if("A")
src << "A"
if("B")
src << "B"
if("C")
src << "C"
else
src << "Ask A, B, or C"


Allows you to just type "help A" into the command line, or just "help" to get the "Ask A, B, or C" message. Clicking on the help verb brings up the menu of topics.
