It's probably too late to change the names of
the commands, but maybe their descriptions
could be improved:
      memdump ( m) : dump memory
     memwrite ( w) : write bytes/words/longs to memory
      loadbin ( l) : load a file into memory
      savebin (  ) : save memory to a file
?

(I already commited a small improvement to
several commands' detailed descriptions.)

"logfile" command is easy to overlook as its
in the general section.  This is because logging
applies both to CPU & DSP (disassembly etc), but
I changed at least its short desc to be more
explicit of what it does:
      logfile ( f) : set (memdump/disasm/etc) log file
