Feels to me like (1) would be best.
(2) would be difficult, because the screen could be shadow, could be any mode, might even have a text area defined - unless perhaps, this is always immediately post-reset. And what if the output is paged? What if output is redirected to file or serial??
(3) as an idea, hook into the host-side OSWRCH to store (or analyse) the outputs of a *HELP. Again, maybe worry about paged output waiting for a user keypress. Unless you suppress the output.
