A major mode for reading poplog help documentation.
By default pop-help-mode creates one buffer for each type of help file
HELP, TEACH etc. Making pop-help-always-create-buffer non nil creates a
new buffer for each file and it is up to the user to manage the resulting
buffers. Like ved, pop-help-mode uses the Poplog searchlists to decide
which directories to search for help files. This is generally a Good
Thing but a) it can be slow and b) it won't find help files which are
not in the default seachlists and where the corresponding library hasn't
been loaded. If you don't like this behaviour, you can set
pop-help-always-use-defaults to t and redefine the default searchlists in
your .emacs to include the help directories for the libraries you use.
If pop-help-short-command is set true then the commands M-X help etc. can
be used to get help rather than M-X pop-help etc. Nice, but not for non
poplog people.
