Re: F1 on opcodes in ILE RPG editor not bringing up help in 9.0.1

In the past, on some version from a galaxy far, far away, F1 on opcodes brought up help on the opcode. Previous versions in recent memory did not do this.

9.0.1 does do this, and I did notice and appreciate it.

However, 9.0.1 still does not bring up help for specific BIFs, or D-spec keywords (the things I've pressed F1 on since upgrading).

Hm. 9.0.1 here also.

If I position my cursor on a D-spec keyword like varying and press F1, I
get the help page for all the D-spec keywords. It's not positioned to
the exact keyword, but it's usually one click away.

Clicking on a free-form BIF only gets me the help for Free-Form
Statements. Finding the BIF help is much more work from here.

Clicking on an extended factor 2 BIF gets me the help for EVAL. Again,
not that helpful.

I'm ashamed to admit that I don't press F1 all that much.
