If you select Help from the Finder, and then Mac Help (the only choice), you get the standard "What is your question?" box, with a few blurbs about OS X. However, I noticed tonight that the "back" arrow is lit, which seemed odd given that I'd just opened Help.

If you click Back, you'll be taken to the Help Center screen, which shows all the help files that have been installed on your machine. On my box, for example, I see BBEdit Help, DragThing Help, and the Developer Help Center (which I never knew was there!). From there, clicking on any one of them takes you to that appplication's help files without opening the application first.
