This has now been replaced by the simpler interface
  
  http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/dochtml/help/<function name>

as originally intended by Bill, e.g.

  http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/dochtml/help/nfinit

(Currently works for every GP function.)

It is no longer needeed to indicate the proper chapter number, we
modified gphelp to produce the relevant rewriting rules for
the mod_rewrite Apache module.

Cheers,

    K.B.

P.S. This is now the default extended help in the online GP calculator at

  http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/gp.html

via ??<some function name>
