HELP,<return_string>=<variable of interest> ?? [message #4033]

A while ago someone discussed using

help,calls=calls

to get the traceback info from IDL as a string array.
It works.

Does anyone know if I can get the normal HELP info on
just a simple variable back similarly, as in:

help,var=var or maybe help,/stru,struct=some_struct

I have a large structure, and I really like the output of
'help,/stru,my_struct', so why can't I get it as a string
array? Or is there some undocumented backdoor for this...?

Thanks much!
