The help system worked like this long ago (before the thing was called lush).
The current system only consider help text from files
included by a master document (by default lsh/lush-manual.hlp.)

Note that you can call helptool with another master document.
For instance (helptool "myfile.lsh")

Yann implemented this because there seems to be no good way
to simultaneously consider the help text contained in every 
loaded file and maintain a meaningful manual structure.

Personally I prefer the old way of doing things.
But Yann studied the problem more closely and chose the other option...
