I would love to open individual bugs, but don't have the time. Also, these
should probably all be cleaned up at the same time.

1: shift-ctrl-p -> Capture -> Edit -> Help button
"This program cannot display the webpage"
Contents and and Search tab work though.

2: Help invoked via 1: blocks the built in search -- minimize the Help window,
and type in the Edit window, the built in search no longer works. It can be
revived by clicking _only_ in the Interfaces box in the top part of the dialog.

3: Built in search is not documented in "10.5.1 Interface Options". See Bug
6104.

4: "10.5 Preferences" says "Preference settings are added frequently. For a
recent explanation of the preference pages and their settings have a look at
the Wireshark Wiki Preferences page at http://wiki.wireshark.org/Preferences.";
So I clicked, then clicked /Capture...  Also doesn't document the built in
search.

5: Help from 4 contains screenshots of **ethereal** so is years out of date.
Doesn't document changing the default link-layer type.
