It would also be possible to have a split help window (see docking
windows) always at the same position - when using small screens multiple
helpwindows cover the whole visible area without effort...
On the other hand the behavior of the windows should be configurable -
since it always will be faster and more intuitive to have the
information currently needed and not multiple windows.
With the docking aproach there could also be a history, so you can jump
back in a second.
While we are at the subject - how about a drag`n drop help? Clicking on
an icon, button, field etc. and dragging onto the next help button/menu
will unveil the context-specific help... [dream off P-)]
