+ <name>Helpman</name>
+ <summary>Quick and Easy access to 4000+ manuals / guides / tutorials</summary>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Helpman provides a classified access to the manuals, installed by user/system
+ programs, automatically. It also supports typing a program / manual name, in
+ the Select Manual: text / combo box directly, to display it quickly. Error
+ Messages will be shown below, if a manual is not found.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The Manual Type list box, shows sections 1 to 8, useful for specific display
+ of a version of the manual. Say for example, if you see, CRON(8) in a manual,
+ it means the CRON manual in the 8th section. So users should choose
+ appropriately.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Please click the info button for more details.
+ </p>
+ <p>Features:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Classified and Automatic Updation of New Manuals</li>
+ <li>GUI Display of Manuals makes back and forth navigation easier</li>
+ <li>It also makes copying text easier</li>
+ <li>Direct Searching of Manuals is possible too</li>
+ </ul>
