          <para>
            Most of the time, you want to call <see cref="M:Gnome.Help.Display(System.String,System.String)" /> instead.
          </para>
          <para>
            This function will display the help through creating a "ghelp" URI, by looking for <paramref name="file_name" /> in the applications installed help location (found by <see cref="F:Gnome.FileDomain.AppHelp" />) and its <paramref name="app_id" />. The resulting URI is roughly in the form "ghelp:appid/file_name?link_id". If a matching file cannot be found, <see langword="false" /> is returned.
          </para>
          <para>
            Please note that this only displays application help. To display help files from the global Gnome domain, you will want to use <see cref="M:Gnome.Help.DisplayDesktop(Gnome.Program,System.String,System.String,System.String)" />.

        <remarks>You should never need to call this function directly in code, since it is just a wrapper for <see cref="M:Gnome.Url.Show(System.String)" /> and consequently the viewer used to display the results depends upon the scheme of the URI (so it is not strictly a help-only function).</remarks>

          <para>
            This is done by creating a "ghelp" URI, by looking for <paramref name="file_name" /> in the system help domain (<see cref="F:Gnome.FileDomain.Help" />) and its <paramref name="app_id" />. This domain is determined when the library is compiled. If a matching file cannot be found, <see langword="false" /> is returned.
          </para>
          <para>
            Please note that this only displays system help. To display help files for an application, you will want to use <see cref="M:Gnome.Help.Display(System.String,System.String)" />.
