Yes, but help is not sam, and sam is not help. Abandoning
click-to-type worked well for help, because every bit of text
on the screen is a potential command for help to execute, so
instead of having pop-up menus you have windows with commands
in them. It's part of the overall design. Sam was designed
to have a click-to-type policy, and it works very well the way
it is. And besides, there is a long tradition of sam users
who have enjoyed its very click-to-type-ness, and probably
view this change as an act of desecration (I know I do :-).
