However, if I try to see what this command does by typing ":h :dis", I
am sent to the help entry for :disassemble because the only tags for
the :dis command are :di (the shortest abbreviation) and :display (the
full command name).

I suggest writing either "use the `:display` command" or "use the
`:reg` command" at change.txt line 1384. Either possibility will
unambiguously send to the correct help if tried, with the advantage,
in the latter case, of not needing a scroll-up.

Best regards,
Tony.
