interactive help

It finally occured to me (ah, duh!) that help could/should be a bit interactive.

For example, you should be able to get the display of the document for a command without navigating there.

Definately a step up. And I can see the need for a small change to the ViewEnv would also be helpful for such interactivity. And a great piece of sample code for doing things which don't conveniently decompose into simple commands and displays. (And something newbies would be likely to use, too.)

--The enhancement would be to give displays access to application-specific context (session data).
