Description

The help command tries to align usage and description columns for the various shell command services. Unfortunately, this doesn't work very well when the columns for some commands are long. I think we should modify help so it gives only the usage by default and you can say "help <command>" to get the description. Of course, the reverse might also make sense, but descriptions tend to be longer.
