Typing help brings up a screen that says type help()

[Seymore4Head]

What is the logic behind that?
Couldn't help do the same thing as help()?
But the reason I ask is that I see (from a video of Getting Started
with Python) that older versions of python would allow ? as help.  I
get syntax error when I try ?
