Is there, anywhere, a Help file for TeX and LaTeX related questions?
The classical Macintosh Help file has a browser window, in which you
type a question, and the window
responds with all the nodes, ranked according to their applicability to
the question. Not very WELL ranked,
as a rule, but it's a start.
This doesn't have to be a classical Macintosh Help file, however. A
standalone application which can facilitate
quick look-ups would be fine.
You KNOW why I want it. I am so f---ing TIRED of having to keep
templates around, so the quirky things like
AMS-LaTeX's topmatter "\begin{abstract}...\end{abstract}" vs.
"\author{...}", the exact details of "\begin{cases}...\end{cases}",
WHICH character is it when I want a tilde in text, etc., etc., etc., ad
nauseum.
(That should be \emph{ad nauseum}, since it's Latin :-)
Anyone have a favorite? Preferably standalone; there are some
excellent websites around, but when I'm working on the train, these
won't do me much good.

PS. What I''d REALLY like is George Gr\"atzer''s book, hyperlinked
:-)
