there could and probably should be turned into short tips as we have
elsewhere. This even easier to use than separate help, I think. Maybe
Juergen S. could have a look?
Another easy solution would be to have a function
showHelpItem(string const & name, string const & label)
that would load manual `name' (or switch to it if it is open) and jump
to label `label'. This is just a few lines of code, and then the Help
button would just invoke something like
showHelpItem("UserGuide", "sec:graphics")
Would that work?
