I know about perldoc, but what are you looking for specifically?  We
have the following already at least:

Ctrl+I for a list of functions with descriptions and guided code insertion.

Shift+F1 for looking up all information about a keyword (function
names and some other keywords).

The last one may do what you want:  Position the cursor on
GetObjectAtPoint, for example, then type Shift+F1 to learn all about
it.

And for the power users among us, there's always the ability to use
File > Open Shared File to open builtin.jsd, then use Ctrl+F to scan
the whole file for interesting stuff.

MoveToWindow, SetFocus, any of the cursor routing functions. Poke
around a bit, either in the `reference' section of the FSDN or the
control+i `insert function' dialog of the Script Manager.

As an almost related aside: for some time, JAWS has needed a
Perldoc-type utility to provide quick, on-demand references to
built-in JAWS scripting functions.
