help displays a helpful list of commands.
add ["<spawn search>"] [notify] [sound <#>] [nohud] [priority <#>] [/all] Using add by itself will add your current target to the watch list.

When specifying a Spawn Search string it's best enclosed in quotes, e.g. "npc loc 100 55 radius 30 kobold".

notify controls the popup window upon detection.

nohud doesn't show the spawn in the hud, but keeps it available for the TLO:Targ.

priority <#> assigns priority for the spawn, useful for the TLO.
