Goodday all!

I'm a bit bamboozled by the behaviour of Vim (6.1 Debian) on my machine
at home.  The F1 key doesn't produce the vim help-files.

I can read the help files in vim by specifically opening any of the files
in /usr/share/vim/vim61/doc. 

But if I try to jump to another tag using Ctrl-] I get an error message (E344
iirc - it's at home) about 'no tag file found' -- and yet the tag file is there
in the doc directory.

Strangely enough Ctrl-O will take me back to whatever help file I might have
previously looked at.

The prehistory is that I had my own compiled version (not a deb-src debuild
one) of vim, where the $VIMRUNTIME path was through /usr/local/share rather than 
/usr/share.

For wiw I've got exuberant-ctags, but I can't see why I should need to generate tags 
for vim.

This machine at work has a more-or-less parallel history, but works OK in this regard.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Nick
