     Actually, 1.2 *does* have a fair amount of help stuff and it
works just fine under NS 1.0a.  NS 2.0 broke it and nobody expects
it to be fixed until Mathematica 2.0 comes out.  It strikes *me* as
a minor miracle that the help stuff broke, yet the rest of it, oddly
enough, still seems to work okay.
