I am interested in help routines for the unix system.  The manual is
ok but is very difficult if you don't know already what you are looking
for.  What I am interested in is a menu driven help routine similar
to VMS help.  Upon invocation, this routine would spit out a list of
topics and would prompt the user for a topic then a subtopic, etc.
Has anyone done anything like this?  Is anyone currently working
on something like this?  Are there any more redundant questions I can
ask?
