Thanks NoOp, that's what I was looking for.  The message window I
described only lists the options up to "-infilter=<filter>" along with
its description.  I suspect that the message window just truncates the
text at some arbitrary value.

The "|more" option does work when listing help for other types of
commands (such as "help |more"), but unfortunately it doesn't work in
this case.  The main difference in this case is that the help text is
not echoed to the prompt (terminal), but it is rather displayed in a
message pop-up, which truncates (cuts off) the text at some point.

Just for interest's sake, on the Win7 system I'm using (running
LibreOfficePortable 3.3.2), the help options specify single dashes,
not double dashes.  Not sure if it is OS or LibO-version specific.
