HELP_ENTRY = \
"""
See python evennia.py -h for controlling Evennia directly from
the command line.

Evennia has two parts that both must run:

Portal - the connection to the outside world (via telnet, web, ssh
         etc). This is normally running as a daemon and don't need to
         be reloaded unless you are debugging a new connection
         protocol.
Server - the game server itself. This will often need to be reloaded
         as you develop your game. The Portal will auto-connect to the
         Server whenever the Server activates.

Use option (1) in a production environment.  During development (2) is
usually enough, portal debugging is usually only useful if you are
adding new protocols or are debugging an Evennia bug.

Reload with (5) to update the server with your changes without
disconnecting any players.

Reload and stop are sometimes poorly supported in Windows. If you have
issues, log into the game to stop or restart the server instead.
