The ultimate irony is that if I move the cursor to the previous line, the one 
before the error, F1 works on the same exact word. Maybe a failback should be 
back up in the file and find an occurrence of the search word that does work. 
This will of course fail if two classes have the same method the the prior call 
is for a different class, but because classes cluster in code, it wouldn't be 
worse than not doing anything at all. At least the help pane will open...
