For instance, netstat. This doesn't show up when you type help, but netstat /? does provide the information.
Are there any other commands that will not get listed?
Also, the command netstat /? > netstat.txt won't work. Any idea why?
The netstat.txt...

For OS X Terminal.app, this term type works well for most.
All your ~/.zsh* files and start with a blank environment?
There could be an incorrect TERM type, resulting in incorrect cursor positioning.
