A wonderful interface and a very useful way of browsing the documentation.
The help accessibility would really improve if from the prompt it would be possible to jump to the relevant reference page, for instance via: doc(IntegerRing) Usage script: 1. I am working in sage and need help on, say, VectorSpace. 2. Using tab completion I have found the right candidates for the name of the routine 3. With "VectorSpace?" I have gained some insight in its use, but I need to read up on the background info. 4. I type doc(VectorSpace) and one of the following alternatives happen: a. The relevant documentation gets inserted in my current worksheet b. A new tab/browser window opens on the relevant documentation c. A new tab/browser window opens with a bunch of entries extracted from the documentation index that seem relevant (putting me one click away from the desired information) Note that options (b) and (c) would even be feasible from the command line, using "firefox -remote" or something similar. I use magma with option "c" set up. Ad 3: Would it be possible to typeset the "...?" information using tex2html? It would make it much more pleasant to ready, especially because the mathematics typesetting is now of such a high quality. Oh, and can you fully hyperlink the documentation, so that you can jump around via in-text references?
