| An interesting paper to read by Pike is the one on his "Help" system.
| He takes quite a different approach based on "sensible defaults" and
| "minimal actions".

A similar system (which Pike cites in that paper) is Wirth's Oberon
system.  You can ftp it from  neptune.inf.ethz.ch.  It's pretty neat,
well worth playing with for a while, but you need a sparc to run it on.
