Okay, this *is* a good one - interwoven and linked helpfiles are a good
thing (tm). Caffeine's helpsystem is developing towards this (it currently
supports regexp searching and a 'menu based' browsing front end; adding a
mechanism for hyperlinks shouldn't be too bad).
One problem mentioned in another thread by someone was people using help
but not knowing where the designers may have put helpfiles. This is one
region where this can alleviate the problem; allow lists of 'aliases' for
a helpfile eg:
Armour: ac protection wear
so that typing help <any of those four> will bring up the 'armour'
helpfile. And so forth.
