Most certainly not. You might need to use help while stranded out of X,
due to a misconfigured xorg.conf, and then using a graphical interface
for help would end up as kind of awkward, wouldn't it ?

Not to mention it would break expected behaviour. I don't know about other people, but i certianly use 'help' quite frequently. It beats trawling through the vast bash man page looking for the info i need.

alias help=info would be better, but might get the newbie lost.

Well, if you really want to help the newbie, maybe 'pinfo' instead of 'info' -) But still, that breaks expected behaviour regardless.
