[Guido van Rossum]

[Rebol help example omitted]

Python's help is so much more modern than Rebol. :-)

It has a GUI for this feature.  Assuming you have Python 2.1.x or
2.2.x on Windows, go to the Start -> Programs -> Python x.x menu, and
select "Module docs".  Now type your search string in the text box and
hit return.  Double-click any of the resulting lines, and stand by for
a webbrowser window to pop up.

If you're on Linux/Unix (which automatically disqualifies you from
being a "typical" newbie :-), type "pydoc -g" at the Unix shell.  If
that doesn't work, run the pydoc.py module as a script with the -g
option.
