Sligtly OT, I know, but why don't you just do "help assign"?
Because I was testing if the more command produced the same error reported in this topic for lha in a shell. I normally don't use more for anything. Besides, the help files haven't been kept up to date with all the commands in the OS4.1FE C: directory. There are at least 40 commands in C: that do not have help files.
P.S. I keep 3rd party commands in an assign-added directory to the C: directory so the 40+ files I mentioned above do not include 3rd party commands.
CLI 52.4 does not show this behaviour, while
CLI 53.15 does

Ouch ... noted.
Though (before having checked) there may well be commands in C: for which it wasn't intended to make their docs available for "help". But there may also be some that were simply not copied (in cleaned versions) to the Help dir. And possibly some where the docs were changed without being copied.
;Script docomp
FOREACH NAME file IN `list SORT N C: LFORMAT "C:%N"`
IF NOT EXISTS SYS:Locale/Help/english/Shell/${file}.help
ECHO >>ram:nohelp.txt $file
ENDIF
END
It's of little more than academic interest anyway, because that search is only a small first step in the task I have to do (when I get "a round tuit").
It will also be relevant to check the docs in Documentation/C against the ones in HELP:english/, both for existance and for equality.
And then someone in more charge than me will have to decide which discrepancies should actually be fixed, and which are intentional or irrelevant.
I do have a few other more pressing things to look at first, though, but I'll get there eventually.
