I'm aware of this class of problems with the new lexer/parser.  It should not be hard to fix, but I've been meaning to discuss it on the maintainers list first.  I'll start a thread there.

Taking a quick look, the --list is being treated as a -- variable  by the parser.

Doing something like help -list gets to the help.m script, which then is an invalid help name.

help with the single argument `--list' gives

parse error:

  syntax error

>>> help --list
