Someone just upgraded from 10.04 and after answering a couple of

Hello Barry and all
That is exactly what/who the poster is for, I'm glad it was useful.
The Ubuntu Desktop Guide really is good documentation once you get the
names of things and the basic actions sorted out.
I think it has been noticed that Ubuntu 12.04 does not make it at all
easy to find a useful Help facility, not sure if a bug has been raised
at all, I hope so. One guinea pig I saw use it here immediately
searched around for a help list. Unfortunately even I did not know
where that was ... :-(
My try was F1 but this is context sensitive.

Reading this - and purely as a guess....
I hit the<Super>** key which, of course, opened the main lens.
I typed "help".
There it was.
Whilst that might be an obvious route to me - it most definite;y would
not be to a new Unity user.
** I would hit the<Super> key - wouldn't I. I am<Super>Engineer. ;D
As the super key is the windows key on windows, people may not realise
that the windows key works in Linux and is called the super key. if you
press the windows key on windows the start menu pops up straight away,
with linux the super key is pressed there is a delay, the fact there is
a delay (good thing and i guess reasons for this ) may make people think
it does't do anything.
Bit ironic, but when I used Windows for years and too long, I never
used the Windows key! I now see the error of my ways and will be using
it a lot!
