| The original bug talked about Windows - I'd just like to add that on
| Windows we will already do this on 8.1, in the form of a CHM file.
| That doesn't mean we shouldn't do sometihng for other platforms, though

If I mentioned Windows, that was a mistake. I was talking in general interest.

The *.chm file is no subtitute for good text editor with
excellent search capabilities like Emacs + M-x occur / C-s /
C-r with word grabbing and all other features. Emacs is
available to Win32 as well.

The BIG HTML file is user friendly for student classes,
where it it posisble to serch within the browser window with
"find" to demonstrate the various places.

The one HTML also servers as a Printer format.
