Are you looking at the -switchr- help file on SSC, 
as visible (even without installing) by 
. ssc type switchr.hlp  
? 
This help file provides several paragraphs of 
comment and some precise related references. 
It seems exemplary to me. 
In general, a help file should explain the 
syntax for using a command. It is not 
obliged to do much more.
