E433: No tags file
E149: Sorry, no help for %s


Normally the tags file for help should have been installed when you 
installed Vim.

In that gvim "with Scheme", what are the answers to

        :echo $VIMRUNTIME
        :verbose set helpfile?

? Do you see the helpfile contents when you do

        :exe 'view' &helpfile
and/or
        :view $VIMRUNTIME/doc/help.txt

? If all the above look normal (compare with the results of the same 
commands in your Vim "with Python")

        :helptags $VIMRUNTIME/doc

(which may take several minutes to run) might cure the problem.


BTW, you ought to be able to compile a Vim version with both Scheme and 
Python (if, of course, you have both MzScheme and Python interpreters on 
the same machine). See
