Ken Paul writes a *great* note about DDX datasets, and their integration
with MPEX and Adager.  He also mentions:

I have to agree (though no-one asked me either) that this may potentially
be a pain.  Perhaps the HELP engine can ask "Should I search the FAQ?",
or better yet, just do it!  (I just *know* I'm going to forget about the
FAQ right when I need it most.)

To their credit, at least the info is documented *somewhere*. :)
But having to look in only ONE place is just fine, thank you!
