Andrew,
There is some pretty good documentation that comes with the rwhois source.
There are two releases of note, (v1.0 and v.1.1 ?not sure if these are exact),
version 1.5 is more extensible but drops some of the builtins and config from
1.0. I eventually settled on 1.5 with some pieces of 1.0 merged in. 1.0 has
much better output control (prettier). The 'extended command language' is
documented with the source.
