Ok, I'm confused :-)  Here are the versions that I now know about:

1.
The one that comes with Aquamacs.
It's in /Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/site-lisp/edit- 
modes/html-helper-mode.el.
It's html-helper-mode-version variable says "1.5".
It's 94203 bytes.
When you do help-mode, it displays a very short list of commands -  
about 35.
This one has a comment that says you modified it for Aquamacs in 2008.

2.
The "beta" one from Nelson Minar's site.
It's html-helper-mode-version variable says "2.19".
It's 45873 bytes.
When you do help-mode, it displays a longer list of commands - about 94.

3.
The one I just downloaded from http://www.nongnu.org/baol-hth/
It's html-helper-mode-version variable says "3.0.4jolly".
It's 97505 bytes.
When you do help-mode, it displays the longest list of commands -  
about 134.

Please forgive my confusion :-)

I'm interested.  Should I start with version #3, or does it need some  
Aquamacs-specific
mods first?
