Menus are a good way to discover things.
`Help > Search Documentation' has these menu items:
Emacs Terminology
Look Up Subject in User Manual
Look Up Subject in Elisp Manual
Look Up Key in User Manual... C-h K
Look Up Command in User Manual... C-h F
_____________________________________________
Find Commands By Name... C-h a
Find Options By Name...
Find Options By Value...
Find Any Object By Name...
Search Documentation Strings... C-h d
Notice the last one.
IMO it's too bad that many people have come to get
the idea that using menus is for sissies.
I think this is especially true of developers, and
of Emacs users generally. It's misguided, IMHO.
