Edit Reason: clarifying

There seems to be a bit of discrepancy in the f1 Help function.
If I use the Tab function in my programme, eg Tab(10), then select the keyword Tab and press f1 for Help, it gets ignored, but if I insert a space between Tab and ( - which the IDE removes later- I get the explanation as expected.
But with other non-spaced functions, like left$( (which are also ignored until a space is inserted), if I insert a space I'm offered a choice of explanation for the $ sign or for String, neither of which is what I need. This also happens with Mid$( and Left$( and others.
I know, I can refer to Wiki, but the f1 help is more convenient, and if this is offered it should be consistent.
