This could also be done with minimal effort in the IDE... by setting up 
a SHELL call when the user presses F1, and passing to the called app as 
much parameters as possible: keyword under cursor, class under edit, 
filename and so on. An external program, written in gambas, could then 
parse its command line and decide to browse documentation (for gambas, 
for libc calls, and so on), or to permit the user to read and modify its 
own documentation. The main advantage of this approach would be not to 
overload the IDE.
