Have you tried the context help (if you're using win pov)? Hmm, I like
you're idea of two separate help files - how about a 'light' one with just
syntax, and a 'verbose' one with all the other stuff you might not
necessarily want for a quick refresh of the mind? Of course, then new users
wouldn't want to read the complete docs, just the light one, and would get
annoyed by the docs not saying enough...

Yes - it tends to suffer from the same problem IIRC, in that it doesn't
necesserily take you to the basic syntax for the keyword.

Ah, those lamers will always find something to bitch about ;)
Actually, I was thinking partly of the n.users, but it's true that there is
always a downside....

On Mac OS (also using HTML based help), the author has no control either :-(

Not even by weighting the items with keywords?

for WinHelp (not HTMLHelp) you can add keywords to each topic (one page)

Glad you like it.
I have added a link to the file qr.zip near the top of the web page. It's
just a zip of the associated files within a single folder, so ignore any
broken links. I'll try to remember to update the zip whenever I update the
reference.
