>Where is the help that teaches such arcana?

Arcana? Please, spare me. The help is in the same place it has been
since 1996 and perhaps before. It's in the TCP/IP online help. There
should be an object for this in your information folder. If you prefer
the command line, as I mentioned to Sandy, use:

tcphelp

>HELP PING brings up process dump help.

As it should. It is the closest match in the index for cmdref.inf.

>PING /? unknown host

As it should. The TCP/IP stack is derived from the BSD unix stack. All,
or almost all, of the TCP/IP commands understand -? as a request for help.

Regards,

Steven
