    Hi John,

    I wondered about that too. But a "we ask that.." is not the same as "must"
    apparently! :D And.. Stas, *does* provide the %help command. Maybe he
    Which is why I tested it, in the test echo ;-)

    Oh.. but the /start /help, /etc.. only applies to bots. The bridging that Stas is doing is not bot-based. He's using the API spec to build his fido tosser to work with it.

    And, although /help is not recognized in his Fido2telebot bot, it responds to a fine complete of commands and sub-commands.

    Ciao!

    Place your commands to the Fido2telebot bot. Inotherwords,
    goto or select the Fido2Telebot entity, and enter the help
    command there. BTW.. the help command should be %help.
    I think you did this before as you had built your %UserProfile
    that way.

    Sure.. Except I did it as a test because the Telegam Bot Spec suggests that /Help is one of the three commands your bot needs to support as a minimum. I was testing to see whether the inline bot and the PM bot were responding any differently.

    I quote:

    Global commands
    In order to make it easier for users to navigate the bot multiverse, we ask all developers to support a few basic commands. Telegram apps will have interface shortcuts for these commands.

    /start - begins interaction with the user, e.g., by sending a greeting message. This command can also be used to pass additional parameters to the bot (see Deep linking)
    /help - returns a help message. It can be a short text about what your bot can do and a list of commands.
    /settings - (if applicable) returns the bot's settings for this user and suggests commands to edit these settings.

    I think the Telegram /stop command works.

    That's odd. This is an old message that's suddenly appeared..
