Summary: help for multiple commands in mged doesn't work

Initial Comment:
mged> help help
Usage: help [commands]
	(give usage message for given commands)

Note the wording "commands". That means you can enter
multiple commands on the line to get help for all of
them. But let's try it:

mged> help xpush zoom
No help found for xpush zoom
mged> help xpush
Usage: xpush object
	(push object path transformations to solids, creating
solids if necessary)
mged> help zoom
Usage: zoom sf
	(zoom view by specified scale factor)

It doesn't work. Seems that the parameter is
interpreted as a name of single command.

There does indeed seem to be some problem.  The help command is supposed to work with multiple commands listed as the message suggests but apparently something has changed.  A quick review of that 
code does show that it should work, but obviously isn't.  Looking into the problem, and of course thanks for the report.
