I think the problem is not having a list of modules, but rather to have 
a direct link between a module name and its location in the menus. 
Currently, you have to know where to look for in the menus, and then you 
can get confirmation through mouse-over, but it would be great if the 
above synopsis could also contain a hint on where to find the command in 
the gui. Something like:

db.columns list all columns for a given table (Database->Database 
information->...)
