IMHO Vms help sucks... Yes, it had a nice interface, but usally you can't find more than a very terse list of option. Info, even if had a less intuitive interface have the following enancehment:

- hypertext, and not only a *pure* gerarchy of menu.
- you can search for string through the whole manual
- you can print the manual
- you can scroll

Even with man you can search for a string inside the man page, but not with
vms help. Of course I'm comparing help on command line...
