There seem to be several very useful general help pages like ?Comparison,
?Devices, and ?Startup, which do not tie to a specific function.  Is there a
list of these?  I'd like some bedtime reading.

I don't know about a complete listing of such functions (well, what 
should be listed in there and what not), but for some basic stuff, 
?Syntax has some links in its See Also section.

Following Uwe's and Dirk's suggestions, here's a first pass at a list of
interesting general help pages:

?Arithmetic
?Comparison
?Control
?DateTimeClasses
?Defunct
?Deprecated
?Devices
?Extract
?Foreign
?Logic
?Memory
?Paren
?Rdconv  (RdUtils page: Rdconv, Rd2dvi, Rd2txt, Sd2Rd)
?Special (beta, gamma, choose, ...)
?Startup
?Syntax
?build   (PkgUtils page: R CMD build, R cmd check)
?connections (file, pipe, ...)
?pi  (Constants page: LETTERS, letters, month.abb, month.name, pi)

Note that the RdUtils, PkgUtils, and Constants pages cannot be accessed through
their names (?RdUtils, etc).

I'd also suggest two additional general pages (which do not currently exist):
?System   (system, .Platform, Sys.info, Sys.getenv, Sys.putenv, getwd, setwd)
?Graphics (covering plot, lines, points, segments, par, Devices)
