> did you try to simply select the function and press CTRL+H or right-click for content menu and select "Show Help for current Function”?

fantastic Hans!
PS: I looked in the help menu and saw nothing like “help on selection cntrl-H” …. that would help with newbie discovery (like me :-) )

> the GUI behaves slightly differently, but no one noticed ;). Due to the special treatment of the prompt, the commands concerning the beginnings of things have special work-arounds, so for example beginning of the line equals beginning of the paragraph in the GUI. However, this is what people most commonly want, so I'm not sure it's abad thing. I'll see if I can make the behavior consistent, though.

Would be great: it is unusual not to be able to left-arrow out of a selection. Maybe I can get used to Cmd–left-arrow to go to beginning of line: I think I use the shift key to highlight so I can attend the new location of the cursor more easily.
