BIFs and KEYWORD specific language sensitive help is still coming.
We wanted to, but ran out of time. As it was we were burning the midnight
oil a lot this release.

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.
