I tried the context help feature. Very neat indeed. In my test 
(on MS-Win), it opened the original strings script 
from the subversion base at jsoftware.com. Excellent as long 
as you are connected. I suppose if someone would keep 
the subversion content locally, there could be a parameter 
to use the local copy instead.

  I was not aware of Context Sensitive Help; I should have been!

  Yes. The original "true source" scripts were previously described 
in the User Manual, but I can't find them in J7. As Martin wrote, 
we need it "to find a suitable function in first place".

  I don't see this addon and I only know oxygen as a theme 
in Linux and a XML editor. Curious.
