ACK.

Yes, yours is a better approach. It's more generic.

I'm not very familiar with zsh programming. So this question might sound
stupid, but why do you create a new variable? Why don't you use
${${@:#-*}[1]} ?
Is it possible to get the point where run-help was called? Maybe for
ssh -option <1> host cmd <2>
run-help invoked at <1> opens the manpage of ssh and at <2> it opens the
manpage of cmd.

Why do you use -w, while you throw the output away.

Where do you remove the part before $1, e.g. LANG=bla? Why do you have to
use eval? Doesn't run-help-$1 work?
Bye, Jörg.
