Hmm, check the path under /usr/share/vim/. The file is probably compressed ("help.txt.gz"), but vim should be able to handle that fine provided it knows to accept <file>.gz as a target. There should be a file (or a symlink) /usr/share/vim/vimrc that contains a line like: set helpfile=$VIMRUNTIME/doc/help.txt.gz -- Eric G. Miller <egm2@jps.net>
