Why show both abrowse and rbrowse in the "newbie" help? I've only ever used abrowse, but from reading this list it seems that rbrowse can do a superset of what abrowse can. Also, the current organisation of sub-headings etc seem kind of arbitrary, at least to a newcomer.Because rbrowse is a bit more powerful, but is _to this day_ missing some basic functionality. It also doesn't feel as nice when working with remote archives.
A case could be made that we don't need to show newbies the slightly-more-powerful command.
Also, how do you think this will be received by people that are looking for a command name, but can't remember what section its in? (i.e. gdbhelp disease)
Cameron's "tla help all" would address that, no? Aaron
