whenever i'm doing stuff behind the scenes on the blog, using the movable type administrative interface, there are context sensitive links to help pages in the manual. however, ever since i upgraded however many months or years ago that was, all of those links are broken. there's also this funny display issue for editing entries but i don't need to get into it since it doesn't really hinder me. (the buttons for manipulating text, such as making it bold or italic, are way off to the side and don't work anyway.) but the lack of help files really bugs me! it usually means a long time searching the online documentation and forums to figure out what i want to do.

i finally decided to look at the url it is trying to reach and figure out the correct url. i realized that the if i removed "g_contextsensitive_" from the url then everything would be peachy. then the question came up: from what master file is this written in so that i could remove it? doing a google search for "g_contextsensitive_" retrieved only one page: http://code.sixapart.com/trac/movabletype/changeset/437. the documentation on that page is sparse but completely effective. it's basically saying what i already know, that i have to remove "g_contextsensitive_" from the url but it also provides the missing key which is where i am supposed to removed it from.
