I have put a reasonably up to date set of help files on the web
at http://www.ifh.de/~pws/help.tar.gz (there's no link to it,
you must use that URL). This is just temporary. A function like
the one below is necessary for full functionality.
I have a newer version of helpfiles, which I'll post separately
to zsh-workers since it's not useful here.
# start run-help
typeset zhelp=~/src/zsh-3.1.2/Help # CHANGE THIS
typeset page="${PAGER:-less}" # Hack to split words in $page
# maybe change less to more
case $1 in
.) 1=dot;;
:) 1=colon;;
-) 1=dash;;
esac
if [[ $1 = compctl ]]; then
man compctl
elif [[ -f $zhelp/$1 ]]
then
${=page} $zhelp/$1
else
man $1
fi
# end run-help
