As for adding a command to call the help file while in-game, I don't believe we are planning on going down that route. It's not the industry standard in gaming and certainly wasn't used in GoldBox games or in FRUA. It will be provided as an additional files or files (if in HTML) for the player to view and print out if she wants.
I agree that this is a great idea. I have sent my contest contribution to some friends for playtesting, and of course, some of them did right away ask for hints how to handle the game - some things are not very self-explanatory for people who do not regularly play RPGs.

Would it not be possible to add a kind of help/introduction to DC in the camp event? It is only an idea, and I myself am not clear if I like it or not. What do you think?
