With a documentation as voluminous as Vim's, you need ways to help you
find what you're looking for: analytical table of contents, indexes,
help by subject, searching the whole help text for some regular
expression, ...

When the latter (the :helpgrep command) was added (at patchlevel
6.1.423) I found it pretty cool too. (Then, as a kind of afterthought,
:vimgrep arrived in 7.0, which shows how important the help is to Vim
development. :-) )


Best regards,
Tony.
