In response to Imran Zaidi's question:
We have recently launched an application like this, so that we can provide
access to our full-text case law and statute law databases over the Web.
We only support Netscape 4+ and Internet Explorer 4+ browsers, but on any
platform.
The Help is in a secondary window created with JavaScript. Apart from the
JavaScript to open the window, the Help is plain HTML.
Links to the Help are (so far) restricted to a button in a toolbar; the
toolbar is in a frame at the top of the window.
You can see the Help by clicking the "help" button on the FAQ page at:
We do not intend to supply any printed documentation.
