That's how zsh does it. (Well it prepends run-help which defaults to man but is user replaceable.) The zsh help key is meta-H, though you could bind it to F1 if you really wanted. These things are not exactly difficult eh? Even gives you your partial command back to edit after you've finished with man. Cheers, Martin.
