Pidgin is an IM client.  More out of a sense of completeness than
expectation of success I decided to consult its help for something.  It
has a 'Help' menu in the customary place; that's good.  The first item
in that menu is:

  Online Help

which sounds promising, were it not for the confusion caused by the
existence of the third item, namely:

  Get Help Online ...

Yer-what?

There's a difference between the meaning of those two?  And I'm supposed
to divine what it is, and choose which one I want accordingly?  Hateful!

For what it's worth the icons are different: the first has a white "?"
in a blue disc; the second has what appears to be a life ring connected
to an ethernet cable(?).

Not knowing which I wanted, I chose each of them.  The first opened this
page in my web browser:

  http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin

If the second did anything at all then I'm yet to discover what it is.
