In CVS HEAD we also have "show manager command <name>" for some detailed
command information (with tab completion).  I've only got some of the
descriptions in there, so we need some community effort to get the rest of
them in there.

Heres an example of the output of 'show manager command Originate'
*CLI> show manager command Originate
Action: Originate
Synopsis: Originate Call
Description: Generates an outgoing call to a Extension/Context/Priority or
  Application/Data
Variables: (Names marked with * are required)
        *Channel: Channel name to call
        Exten: Extension to use (requires 'Context' and 'Priority')
        Context: Context to use (requires 'Exten' and 'Priority')
        Priority: Priority to use (requires 'Exten' and 'Context')
        Application: Application to use
        Data: Data to use (requires 'Application')
        Timeout: How long to wait for call to be answered (in ms)
        CallerID: Caller ID to be set on the outgoing channel
        Variable: Channel variable to set (VAR1=value1|VAR2=value2)
        Account: Account code
        Async: Set to 'true' for fast origination
