Hi! Thanx a lot for your fast response!
At my PC at home, ":help" works (that's why I can't tell you more about the missing help feature in the moment), but at my office PC (there I ran vim per X-Term under Unix, SunSolaris), there comes an error message, like "no help file found in /usr/local/share/vim7.0/vim/.../vim.hlp". The directory exists and all files, like the syntax files, are already there, but no vim.hlp. What's wrong?
