Description:
What I did:
At the command line client prompt, I typed "help show", followed by <ENTER>.

What happened:
The first sentence under the Description heading was, "SET allows you to set variables and options." This was then followed by the help text for SHOW: "SHOW has many forms that provide information about databases,
tables, columns, or status information about the server..."

What I expected:
I only expected to see text relating to the SHOW command.

How to repeat:
Log on to the command line client. At prompt, type "help show", followed by <ENTER>.

Suggested fix:
Delete the text relating to SET from the help for SHOW.
