I just noticed that these topics *are* advertised in the interactive
help prompt, and can be listed by entering "topics".  Apparently I
never read the introduction text carefully enough.

There is also keyword-based module searching by entering 

    modules [keyword]

at the help prompt.

Sorry for the noise,
