I wouldn't use it. It reminds me too much of RR's multiple-file help 
system, which I don't like.

I'm open to replacing the old dictionary with the new, but I don't see 
any reason to have more than one reference. The syntax for each command 
is at the very top of the dictionary so it is easy to find, and if I 
want to read a longer explanation then the material is already right 
there; no extra clicks and loading involved.
