// <synopsis>
// TaQLShow::getInfo is called by the TaQL help (or show) command.
// It returns a string (with newlines) containing the requested help info.
//
// Note that a command like 'help func mscal' command calls the getInfo function in
// the dynamically loaded mscal UDF library.
// </synopsis> 

// <motivation>
// It is nice if the user can get online TaQL help.
