HI,

the linux textinfo help has also been criticised recently and I find it
pretty intractable to use.

Would this be an opportunity to convert the help to one unified,
cross-platform format?

One obvious possibility is HTML. Although it lacks the nice indexing a
nd cross referencing facilities of winhelp, it would allow
linux/macOS/win* plus web documentation in one hit. This would
presumably be plus for maintainability.
