Need Help for help

Using vim and gvim 9.1 on ubuntu 24.04

My local resources are at ~/.vim and system resources at
/usr/share/vim/vim91/

:help does not work

----------------------------

It returns E149: Sorry, no help for help.txt

:echo $VIMRUNTIME returns /usr/share/vim/vim91/ (set in .vimrc)

:set path returns
path=.,/usr/include,,,/usr/share/vim/vim91/doc/,~/.vim/doc/

The following lines at the end of .vimrc may be relevant

let $VIMRUNTIME="/usr/share/vim/vim91/"
execute pathogen#infect()
set path+=/usr/share/vim/vim91/doc/
set path+=/home/tim/.vim/doc/

I have used vim extensively in the past but am retired so haven't used
vim help in ages.

Pathogen is also new to me

I would like to use help from /usr/share/vim/vim91/, ~/.vim/doc,
~/.vim/docs and ~/.vim/bundle/<app>

I look forward to resolving this issue

thanks

tim
