I was able to implement this without too much trouble.  I also changed it 
so -b and -p switches can be used together to override the automatic port 
selection. The default is port 0.

I think idle uses automatic port selection now also. Does it have a way to 
select a specific port?  Is the -p option needed with automatic port selection.

I added a command prompt like the help> prompt.  Here's what starting the 
server, opening a browser, and then stopping the server looks like.

ra at Gutsy:/media/hda2/home/ra/svn/py3k$ ./python -m pydoc -p 0
Server ready at: http://localhost:50279/
Server commands: [b]rowser, [q]uit
server>b
server>q
Server stopped
[83680 refs]
ra at Gutsy:/media/hda2/home/ra/svn/py3k$

I can add a [h]elp to get a longer help, but I'm not sure it's needed.

I want to have a [r]eport command to list the server requests since the 
last report command was given. Sort of like a log. It may be useful to find 
problems with what the server is sending and what the browser is requesting.

Should the server have a timeout in case the command window is not 
reachable?  If so, how long?

cheers,
    Ron
