Close this window: Use ":q". Get out of Vim: Use ":qa!" (careful, all changes are lost!).

Jump to a subject: Position the cursor on a tag (e.g. |bars|) and hit CTRL-]. With the mouse: ":set mouse=a" to enable the mouse (in xterm or GUI). Double-click the left mouse button on a tag, e.g. |bars|. Jump back: Type CTRL-T or CTRL-O. Repeat to go further back.

Get specific help: It is possible to go directly to whatever you want help on, by giving an argument to the |:help| command. Prepend something to specify the context: help-context
