With XY becoming so feature rich the down-side is that getting help information quickly takes time and effort - may there is no other way than using the wilki and XY help file to do this.

I use on WIN XP a small program called FARR wich finds programs and files. My desktop is now without icons because this program is so good.

Thinking about XY help information - A similar FARR approach could be very beneficial - type in the beginning of a word and have the links to wiki and in-built help there and then.

I appreciate this is not a simple task but XY does need a help system that is quick and available from within the program - I would suggest more important than undo!

Yes, like you said its a lot of work. But if someone can figure out how to easily convert the existing wiki to a help format (maybe even html) then that would be a good thing already.

Oh!! I just found an extension for mediawiki (which XYWiki uses) called Wiki2PDF. Maybe this is useful in some way.
