KDE 4.1 User Documentation

I have installed KDE 4.1 and removed all the KDE 4.0
and KDE 3 stuff as I see no reason for it. I am new
to the KDE 4.1 Desktop and would like to use
the help facilities; however, when I click on the
Help Button it seems to take me to older documentation
that does not at all seem relevant to KDE 4.1.
Perhaps there is not any documentation available yet
or I have done something wrong.
