The need to actually do window manipulation after I have gotten
the help is a major distraction and breaks my train of thought
frequently. Since most help functions move the cursor to the
*help* buffer and window I have to at least issue an
other_window command to get back to the buffer I was working
in, or I can issue a delete_window command to give me all of my
active buffer windows without *help*.
I use http://jedmodes.sourceforge.net/mode/hyperhelp which is a
drop-in replacement for jed's native help interface - and in my
opinion much nicer. It has "hyperlink" navigation, completion,
apropos and more. To get rid of the help window, you just type
'q'.

Thanks. I went to the above site and downloaded help.sl and help.hpl.
help.hpl however gave me an html file that contained:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<!-- ViewVC :: http://www.viewvc.org/ -->
<head>
<title>ViewVC Exception</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>An Exception Has Occurred</h3>
<p>An illegal value was provided for the "view" parameter.</p>
<h4>HTTP Response Status</h4>
<p><pre>400 Bad Request</pre></p>
<hr />
</body>
</html>
Somehow that doesn't seem right. Even though it is characterized as a
drop-in replacement for help.sl glancing through the code and looking at
all the "requires" that are not included in basic jed or jed-extras is
kind of intimidating. It may take a few days to figure out how to
instal this so a future jed upgrade (when .99.20 comes out) won't break
things too bad. Or should I just put this and all the requires in the
jed-extra lib?
