Welcome users! Today I come back with another creation - Help 2.0!
Help 2.0 - A replacement for the standard help program that comes with ComputerCraft, sports amazing features like…
  • The ability to search from command line
  • The ability to go to a page from command line
  • Turing 'Type "help *" for ' into actual, clickable links
  • And the ability to scroll through help pages
Here are some screenshots of Help 2.0 in action:

Meh, you're probably talking about the rendering of "whatsnew1.4". It always bugged me when I tried to read it in 1.4, because the original help program wouldn't let me scroll up, so I would easily miss an important detail. There really is no way for me to make it not an eyesore, because it reads the help entries from /rom/help.
