Thanks for your report!  I believe this is fixed in the latest release, 2.6.10.  However, the results are truncated if the gcl info files from the download page are not separately installed.  I will look into the possibility of shipping these or equivalent in future release tarballs.

The help function invoked from the REPL prompt produces errors, like so using Windows build GCL-2.6.6-ANSI.

I can be contacted at dwiniecki@boisestate.edu.

Best regards,
