An alternative feature option I often wished for when learning a new package
would be the ability to select the text in the help window, and use the
Command-Return key combination (as for the script window) to execute it (ie for
the example text) instead of the copy - change window - paste - return
combination... thus making stepping through example scripts much easier... but
I suspect this to have hidden complexities!
