   Edit the manpage for a Windows /? comman

   How can I edit the manpage for the Windows netsh command.   
      
   Since the beginning of wireless networking I've never been able to remember   
   the syntax for the netsh command, and worse, it's always needed when I am   
   off the network so I can't even look it up on my laptop when I need it.   
      
   The command to get the name of the Ethernet NIC is easy enough to remember.   
   ipconfig | findstr "Ethernet adaptor"   
      
   But then it gets a bit more complicated when you ask for more information.   
   netsh interface ipv4 show config "eth0"   
      
   But it's really hard to remember the syntax to set the subnet & gateway.   
   netsh interface ipv4 set address name="eth0" static 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0   
   192.168.0.1   
      
   Worse, "/?" help doesn't really help (try it & let me know if it does).   
   So is there a way for me to ADD that example into the "netsh /?" results?
