Left click on a word in your source that you want to lookup in the Ogre SDK Help. No need to highlight the word, just make sure the caret is somewhere in the word and then press F1. In this example we want to find out what AnimationState is.

A Topics Found Dialogue window will be displayed if there is more than one match found in the help. In this example the constructor and destructor are listed. Left double click the one you want and viola you can now readup on what the API has to say.
