[SOLVED] GnuCash Can't Find Help Files on Waldorf #!11

I have a box on which #!11 is installed with GnuCash. Synaptic reports that gnucash & gnucash-common v1:2.4.10-6 are installed, along with gnucash-docs v2.4.1-3.

When I run gnucash on the box and select Tutorial and Concepts Guide from the help menu, I receive a pop-up error dialog that says:

GnuCash could not find the files for the
help documentation. This is likely
because the 'gnucash-docs' package is
not installed.

I tried uninstalling and re-installing gnucash with the docs package and continue to get the same message.

Where should I look to correct this problem?

Thanks.

I used ixquick to find these:

Try installing the "yelp" package.

Well, Duh! (Smites forehead with palm of hand). Normally I know how to use ixquick and duckduckgo. Next time I must engage brain and exercise due diligence first. Thank you for your help, it worked like a charm. !# is a first-rate implementation and one of the things I really like about it is this civilized forum. I'll mark this one solved.
