Description

Want "help movie" to show the movie command manual page in the html browser. Currently it just shows a list of subcommands in the log window.

I'd vote to also make the analogous change to "usage", i.e. show the usage for all the subcommands if you enter "usage movie"... if only one subcommand ends up being the one you want to see, you can easily scroll to that in the Log. It's more annoying having to type another command.

Fix by looking for local help file even for commands without a callback. May still need to allow bundles to register URL for "umbrella" commands (like "movie").
