Looking at the other variables they tend to use "if set, then" so we =
should
probably stick to that for this as well?  Something like the below =
perhaps?

        HELP0("  WATCH_INTERVAL\n"
-                 "    number of seconds \\watch by default waits =
between executing the query buffer\n");
+                 "    if set to an interval value, overrides the =
default two second \\watch interval\n");
