 +===== Usage notes =====
 +If called without any argument (on the root object), the ''Help'' method provides a list of all available methods for all object types. If called with the name of an object type (e.g. '''vmr'''), all methods available for that object type will be shown. And if called with the name of a method for the root object itself (e.g. '''Documents'''), the actual help text for that method is shown.
