I think he is referring to the truncation of the initial portion of the complete line, i.e. the portion that spells out the option name, which I also see under DJGPP/4dos via:
redir -eo gpc --help -v | less(for some reason "gpc --help -v |& less" doesn't work here)
I don't know 4dos or whether it's supposed to support `|&'.
Under Unix, `|&' is a feature of tcsh, while bash allows `gpc --help -v 2>&1 | less'.
I don't know if tcsh is available under DJGPP, but bash is.
(BTW, in this case, a simple `|' should also work, which is probably supported by all shells, including command.com, since the help is written to standard output, not standard error, unlike error messages etc.)
