Hopefully that is what Context Sensitive help will eventually provide.

Even if you remove one page, you are still going to have to go through
several steps to get where you want to go.

Non searchable help in hypertext format is always going to be fairly
limited.

at the moment we are not actually talking about very many languages anyway
(or am im mistaken?).

How important is this? i should probably just be quiet and put some code
where my mouth is.
