Should help for e.g. an undocumented constructor in the LCL "cross over" 
to something appropriate in the RTL, e.g. TObject.Create?

With Lazarus docs built from svn and FPC docs from a zipfile, what I 
appear to have is that if I go to a project's .lpr, hit F1 over 
Application (as in Application.Initialize) and follow lhelp to 
TApplication, if I try to get help for the Create method it takes me 
back to the Forms page (tooltip shows ../forms/index.html).
