would be nice if commands had a usage message #40

It would be nice if the command lines would have a usage message for example:

./importmodel --help

or -?

I had to guess that for importmodel the -overwrite parameter expects a 0|1 and not yes|no or something else the usage messge should list that

It's a good point, and I agree. although, if you type "./importmodel" or any other function with no arguments, a usage message does appear. It's not a great usage message, but it's something.

Eventually we will do as you day... I suspect it will involve porting in the argument descriptions from the wiki into the code in some form.

Sorry, I have seen the message, but I did not understand it was a usage message...

I tried to make the usage function better.
