You seem to be missing the point or not reading my replies. The reason 
'*CLI> help' still works on asterisk 1.6.2, is because of the changes 
made 3 years ago add res_clialiases.so.  Without it, the command would 
actually not work.

Here is a simple test you can do on your 1.6.2 / 1.8 asterisk box:

*CLI> module unload res_clialiases.so
Unloaded res_clialiases.so
*CLI> help
No such command 'help' (type 'core show help help' for other possible 
commands)

As you can see, without res_clialiases.so the command does not work. 
So, if you are saying the '*CLI> help' command does not work, then check 
your asterisk configuration first.

I don't even know how to reply to this, so I won't.  Thanks for all the 
fish.
