the help system.

I'll confirm this... plus I'm asking for 2.20 blocking status on it. I figured 
I must just be going blind; nice to know that I'm not. :)

This isn't a documentation bug. Not quite sure what it falls under, so throwing 
it to Bugzilla-General.

As a bugzilla user, I haven't been able to find any other local documentation
linked from the GUI, so the best reference I can find is 
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/html/query.html

There is already a bug to eventually link to other documentation.

Maybe this one just serves to up the urgency.  Because of bug 182082, many users
have NO access to help.

Until bug 182082 is fixed (and no-one's taking any action on it), a simple
in-page link would enable all internet explorer users + javascript-disabled users.
