Are you connected to the internet when you do this. Very often when I  
try to use help I have to wait for info' to download before it  
displays. A good little program that tips you to what's happening is  
NetMonitor. It shows a little graph of input and output and you can  
see the info' coming down to you after you invoke help. Couple that  
with little snitch and you can pretty well keep track of incoming and  
outgoing data.
