Ahhh, that explains it. help('help') isn't ever meant to be called; it's
supposed to be:
>>> help()
...
help> help
...
the call to "help" at the help> prompt is equivalent to help('help').
help('help') should do something different, such as say how to use the help
function, as you say. Whereas "help> help" makes sense.
