[plt-scheme] 399: how to get the internal helpdesk browser?
Indeed, I remember this being a particular bugbear of me until it was
fixed in 3.99 series. I was getting distracted by the discordant look
of the internal browser and rendered text compared to the rest of my
desktop.
I believe that all application UIs should conform to the environment
they are run in to the point that they are "invisible" when used. This
is one of the reasons why I cannot make myself use emacs regularly
despite a history going back years...I have philosophical problems
with an application and development process that cannot use
platform-standard dialogs, menus, keyboard shortcuts, etc.
