  <b>Helm</b> is an Emacs framework for incremental completions and narrowing
  selections. It provides an easy to use API for developers wanting to build 
  their own helm applications in Emacs and dozens of already build in commands
  providing completion in almost everything and powerful search tools.
  It is a must have for anyone wanting to use Emacs as its main working environment.
  Helm is now popular and have been adopted by many power Emacs users.
  It is available in Melpa for easy installation from the Emacs package manager.
