Well what about a help page for a help. In the Help Dialog you will see three note book tabs. Index, Context and the current help page (this is the tab you are reading this text in).

In the Index tab you will find links to most of the subject in the Gimp help system. In the Content tab you will find links built up of a hirarcy. This will enable you to find all help pages about a special area of Gimp e.g all help pages about selections.

You can invoke the help system either by pressing F1 in a Gimp dialog or window, but also by pressing F1 when a menu item is active. E.I. go into a menu and hover over a menu  entry e.g Grow, no press F1 and the help page for Grow will be loaded in the Help browser.

If you press <Shift>-F1 then you will get a ? sign which you can point and click in buttons and other context items in Gimp. If the item is contexted help enabled then the help page for that item is loaded into the Help browser.
