Hi Ben,
I do not want to add a new function for each function in the system.
However, I agree that a better help system is needed.
I was thinking to something like
 - .H list of keywords
 - object.Help() 
 - help from the TBrowser

The help information in all cases being obtained automatically from a file(s)
created by a derivation of the existing THtml class.
