Thanks, sc. I do know how to use it---sorta. I know how to call up the files and navigate around in them. The problem is that I don't understand most of what's explained when I seek help from it. I don't avoid it. I often do check before asking for help. [Don't think I did so this time.] But usually end up having to ask for help anywat. On the other hand, I find the FAQs very helpful.

That said, I will do as you suggest---after check the help on "help" versus "helpgrep."
