Try http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/general/help-system.en.html I need to update that but it will get you started. There is a package available called newbiedoc but I believe it's only available in testing. If you're running stable take a look at the dhelp and dwww packages which are available in stable. Or just do: apt-get install dhelp dwww After you install these packages you may wish to put your browser start page as (or create a bookmark): file:///usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html which is the index to dhelp. I had to do this because just typing dhelp at the command line didn't work. I believe there is a missing symlink or something. Just type dwww at the command line to get dwww. HTH, Jesse
