Here's a technique to bring up the help() documention in your web brower: (1) start the IDLE tool in chimera (2) type into the IDLE dialog: import pydoc pydoc.gui() At that point, pydoc brings up a dialog where it says it started up a web server on your computer and you can "open browser" to browse all of the builtin chimera and Python documentation. There are a couple downsides: (1) chimera becomes unresponsive until you press the "quit serving" button and then chimera exits -- so browse the documentation with one chimera and program in another, (2) pydoc fails for some chimera modules, e.g., the important chimera module -- that's a pydoc bug unfortunately. - Greg
