Documentation doesn't seem to work

We're using the Version 0.12.20.0 release. We can open the help (from the link in the GUI). The TOC displays but none of the content displays. We're interested in the command-line documentation in particular. But, a working Help system (or one that works for us) would be helpful (see what I did there?) ;-)

The Help content is displaying fine for me. However to get a better idea on using the command-line functions I would suggest running slp.exe without any flags and it will give you a great overview of all options. I also found the following esri community post to be helpful. https://community.esri.com/t5/implementing-arcgis-blog/automating-system-log-parser-from-the-windows/ba-p/1195294

Hi @broux2. By default, running slp.exe without and flags should display the command-line help (e.g. the available options for running System Log Parser from a Windows command window). However, since slp.exe is only a command-line executable, if the executable is double-clicked from a Windows explorer window, I am suspecting that the help is quickly displayed in a command window that immediately disappears. Future builds of slp.exe will add a sleep at the end of displaying the help to assist users with this issue.

Hi Aaron. Thanks for this tool. I am heavily using it for our servers.
As a CLI application fan, i would think it would be better when we run it from command line then:

Running slp.exe returns "argument is required". This is very common in cli apps.

Running slp.exe --help returns help and available arguments.

My 2cents.
