lack of script documentation #1272

I apologize in advance it may be that I'm incredibly stupid

however

It occured to me that after at least 20 minutes of googling I could not find documentation as to how exactly scripts in pronsole work typing help run_script did not help very much this repo does not have a wiki some help would be much appreciated do you just write the commands that you would write normally for pronsole ? how do you pass external arguments ?

@meutzitzu , We may not have a wiki, but we have README https://github.com/kliment/Printrun/blob/master/README.md#using-host-commands

I had the same problem. "help [command]" tells me what the command does, but not necessarily with enough detail on how to use it.

"load" loads gcode from where? local disk, or SD? "load" and "sdprint" appears to have tab-completion, but "upload" does not? what does "gcodes" actually do, and how does it differ from something like "load","upload","print"?
