Summary0001354: Make help and game screen viewable at the same time
DescriptionBecause Dwarf Fortress is very complex the user will often be using the help system when they are learning to play. However if they are very deep in a help menu they cannot quickly apply that information to the game and then move back to the help. This makes help less useful.

Two solutions to this are:
1. Allow help to be opened in a separate window. This dosen't work well for full screen play.
2. Add a help section to the the main game screen. This way in addition to the current, game view, hot-keys, and mini-map windows there would be a help window that could be repositioned. Its visibility could also be turned on and off with the <?> This might be controlled a setting some where.
