Access LISP help menus.

Is it just me, or has Autodesk decreased the ability to the LISP help menus? I used to be able to open the main AutoCAD help menu and click on the developer link and be able to access the LISP and VisualBasic code help.  From there I could view all of the LISP commands in alphabetical order and look up their functions.  Now it seems like I have to use search to find the commands every time.

 

Is there an easier way to access the LISP help menus?

I also found at some point that the link inside Help didn't work any longer.  I located the acad_alr.chm file [in a Help folder -- may vary by version, etc.], and "sent" that to my Desktop as a shortcut, and now I go there and double-click on it to open up the AutoLISP Reference.  Other .chm files can be similarly accessed [the Developer's Guide is acad_alg.chm, etc.].
