It might be possible to do, I'm not sure about the kind of information
that DrScheme has when it starts a help search.  (FWIW, the `help'
form (in mzscheme) finds the right place for any binding.)

(Skipping other issues that I cannot provide a helpful reply...)

Yes, that's a known problem.  I'm currently working on a solution.
(The reason that it takes time is that it is part of a bigger problem
regarding the html documentation.)

No.  The problem is that the handin-server documents are just not
included in the distribution (they cannot be included, since they're
in a user directory).

Even if you didn't remove it, running setup-plt would have generated
the docs (in your user directory), so things would be fine.
