You *can*, however, access the help stuff manually. You can open the file /NextApps/Mathematica.app/MathematicaHelp.ma and you will see a nice notebook with an three cells Menu Help Panel Help Other Help which you can open up. This notebook claims to contain the all the help messages pertaining to the NeXT front end. So, you just have to find the pertinent section yourself, when you need help. But it is a whole lot better than nothing. -- Steve Preston (preston@ll.mit.edu)
