Hi David, thanks - I do have that as well. That is a good chance to clarify. The regular help gives a *separate* page for every single function. The regular pdf-manual gives one document for *all* functions in a package.
The nice thing about having a single html page for all functions in a package would be that it is easily searchable in the browser, it is more lightweight than a pdf and wouldn't be restricted by formatting based on the notion that it has to be printable to a page on paper. I was wondering if something like this exists ... and Duncan very quickly answered that for me.
