heh.  so that's why I'm having a slight headache; paul is
in there stealing my ideas? ;-)

I got stuck on whether this is best implemented as a true
builtin, or just patched into the builtins dictionary by site.py...

why not just post a site.py patch, and forget about the

1) plus a sys.sethelphook function which allow the environ-
ment to override the default behaviour; for example, if you're
typing help("intro") in PythonWorks' console window, you pro-
bably want to get nicely formatted help in the "info" panel,
not in the console window itself.
