We have four HMP commands which have a single-character abbreviated
version: cont ('c'), quit ('q'), print ('p') and help ('h').  For
cont, quit and print, we list the abbreviation first in the help
documentation and the command name.  This has the odd effect that in
the full 'help' command list these commands end up sorted out of
alphabetical order (they end up after all the other commands that
start with the same letter).  As it happens, the only place this
currently changes the order is for 'cont'.

Abbreviation first is also not a very logical order, and it doesn't
match what we use for 'help' (which is 'help|?').  Put the full
command name first in both the help text and the .name field for
cont, quit and print.
