Another way to communicate to the server would be to add a link in the browser to open a server status page.  For example my router has a configure page where I can check it's status and do other things. That might be something worth exploring at some later date.

This would work as well, but for starters, I think "Search" and "Quit" buttons next to each other will be most familiar to the users of the current Tk-based control window. Nick, what do you think about the "Quit" link in the browser along with improving the server startup message on the console window?

My main concern was having a clear way to shut down the server - I think your command line changes address that quite nicely. Probably best to keep the quit command separate from the help browser though - it would be annoying to accidentally shutdown your help server when you were just trying to browse it.

Cheers, Nick.
