# $EPIC: getcommands,v 1.1 2002/02/18 07:22:00 brian Exp $
Synopsis:
$getcommands()
$getcommands(<pattern>)
Technical:

in commands.
* If an argument is given, the return value is a word list of all built
in commands that match the given pattern.
* Multiple patterns may be specified; the result is a concatenated list
of return values as if each pattern had been processed individually.
Specifically, any duplicates will NOT be removed.
Practical:
This is mostly useful for writing completion scripts.
Returns:
A word list of the names of built in commands matching the pattern(s).
