Being somewhat weird, I like doing things from the command line - thus for WAS I want to learn as much as possible about wsadmin with jython.

I see and can print out help on particular commands for an object. On the IBM site looking through the wsadmin stuff, I don't see anywhere that shows what options are valid for a particular command.

For example looking at AdminApp.export, on the IBM site it is obvious what the first two arguments are, but for the third (options), how can I find what all options are valid? Is that information written somewhere or is it expected to turn on command history in the console, run a command from there, and then select to view the last command?

Certainly there is written information somewhere.

Thanks in advance,

Are you looking for something such as this:publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinf... and publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinf...

You can also use the WebSphere AST to connect to WebSphere via an ecplise IDE to develop your scripts.  It contains a nice editor with color coding and auto completion.  Take a look here for a really short overview:  publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ieduas...
