> For about two weeks I have been under the impression that most of the CQL help topics are unimplemented. Maybe I am dense, but I never would have guessed I had to quote certain help topics to get help and not others.

> cqlsh:testks> HELP INSERT;
> Improper HELP command.
> cqlsh:testks> HELP 'INSERT';
>         INSERT INTO [<keyspace>.]<tablename>
>                     ( <colname1>, <colname2> [, <colname3> [, ...]] )
>                VALUES ( <colval1>, <colval2> [, <colval3> [, ...]] )

> Either we should fix cqlsh so we do not need to quote these things, or we should actually put the quotes in the help menu which might indicate this to someone.
