Apologies for the confusion; the above was not intended to be another
topic but an explanation of why the help() module failed in my port
and why I believe I'll need to start over.

Basically...between my original email and the one above, I managed to
review the pydoc.py code, test the imports in said code and discover
ones (not tkinter) that were causing errors.
