Dear R-helpers,

I wonder if you can give me advice about the best way to use help().

(1) If I type ?normal because I forgot the name dnorm() I get a long  
list of relevant pages. Getting to right page is laborious.

(2) If I remember dnorm() and want to be reminded of the call, I also  
get a list of pages.

Advice?

It seems to me that if the output of help() listed base functions  
first, it would go a long way toward improving the usefulness of this  
function.
