In the Windows Help version of the docs, enter print in the index tab 
and print builtin function is at the top. Same is true of the online 
index. (There are only three 'print' entries. There is a duplicate for 
the builtin and one for the fixer. Moral: look for things that would be 
indexed in the index. Searching for a word in text, especially a common 
one like print, brings in lots of junk.
