The situation in which these are most useful (IMO) is when your
SW is not localized, but your documents may be. Also, if your
illustration is more of a "what are all these for?" type rather than
a "how to." In our case, there's not much stepping through dialogs
going on, the user selects a command, gets a configuratio dialog,
enters multiple numeric parameters and then hits "OK" to run the
command. Most users who are already familiar with performing
the same operations from the command line usually don't need to
look at the documents, because the parameter fields have the
same names they know from the command line switches (of course,
these users don't need to run the GUI SW, either, which is another
issue altogether around here).
