[BusyBox] about stty

[Tom Cameron]

Hello,
    I actually offered Vlad help with the help file, and it looked pretty
well written (especially when you consider that he makes no claim to type
English well) and nearly all necessary.  The only other solution I could
think of is including the baud, tty, etc. command line options in a
MINIMALIST help, and offering more help in the BB docs, which is where the
FULL text could be read.  Ideas, comments?

Yes, the problem is very unusual. The basic volume of this module is
its message on the help. 
However, I in not know how reduce this message I can not to think up.
Like all this it is necessary. :00

You used my module? With --help called utilites:usage() small help,
with --more called stty_usage_fun() big help. Without this help
stty utilites is not "trivial" - but ugly :(
