I could start with [1] simple screen shots, and then just index the  
collection, to create a table of contents.   Then, a CTRL-F for search  
through *that* document would be a beginning.

OR.. [2] build a Table of Contents using Wordpress like I do here:

http://tales.wellandhistory.ca

Wordpress does all the work for the listing.

For the contents, there would be a "post" for each item in the menus with  
Tiles like this (eg):

 Message/Search..
 Message/Search/Text
 Message/Search/Subject
 Message/Search/User @U
 Message/Search/Special
 Message/Search/Marked(for reply)
 Message/Search/Marked
 Message/Search/Unmark
 Message/Search/MessageID

etc..

 Message/Export..
 Message/Unsent..
 Message/All..
 Message/Change..
 Message/Action..

Then when someone does a S)earch on the website, the full path to the  
"command" will appear in the Title and then the body of the post would  
contain the textual help.
