I'm not going to say one way or the other except to express my opinion.
1) The statement "Lynx help in your local files:" is not necessarily
true, i.e., there is nothing to prevent the help file set from being
on a remote server. Theoretically, a person could point to slcc.edu
or any publically accessable http server carrying them to get into the
help file tree.
2) I have a very strong preference for a single-page main menu
since I can flip from top to bottom without taking my fingers off
of the alphanumeric keys. (I use vi keys.) Also I can see the
numbers of all the links at once.
3) Although I agree with you that the search engine links shouldn't
be on the help page (I personally put them on a page reached
with the `i'ndex key.), there could be a lot of users out there
who are expecting those links to be there.
I think your presentation is "clean" and sharp. It's also great that you've
gotten rid of that silly "Choose a subject:".
