What if we use the "go to previous/next paragraph" functions for searching for headers within the new help format? The "go to next paragraph" function already works well, since it goes down to the first line of the next paragraph (paragraphs are separated by blank lines).
If we choose this alternative then we'd need to alter the behaviour of the "go to previous paragraph" function. Currently, it goes up to the last line of the previous paragraph. The needed change would be to alter it such that it goes up to the first line of the previous paragraph. Two variants of this would be to consier the top line, if it's not blank, to be the start of a paragraph, and, if currently not on the first line of the current paragraph, to go up to the first line of the current paragraph. Would this be a reasonable change to make? This way, braille devices which don't currently offer the "go to previous/next paragraph" functions would still present the full help screen. Also, these two generally useful bindings could be added (in most cases) for any braille device which doesn't currently have them. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
