New to Python and really want to utilize the help() feature for module descriptions and such.
I initially installed anaconda3 with python 3.7, editing in VScode all on Windows7.
When I open Python and and type help('modules')
(base) C:\Users\Owner>python
Python 3.7.6 (default, Jan 8 2020, 20:23:39) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)] :: Ana
conda, Inc. on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> help()
Welcome to Python 3.7's help utility!
If this is your first time using Python, you should definitely check out
the tutorial on the Internet at https://docs.python.org/3.7/tutorial/.
Enter the name of any module, keyword, or topic to get help on writing
Python programs and using Python modules. To quit this help utility and
return to the interpreter, just type "quit".
To get a list of available modules, keywords, symbols, or topics, type
"modules", "keywords", "symbols", or "topics". Each module also comes
with a one-line summary of what it does; to list the modules whose name
or summary contain a given string such as "spam", type "modules spam".
help> modules
Please wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...

I have looked all over the web for a solution. It could have something to do with numpy so I decided to install a clean python 3.8. After the install, I now get the following for any help() lists and descriptions of the module or symbol I want a description of.

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

operable program or batch file.

Use help() to get the interactive help utility.
Use help(str) for help on the str class.

What am I doing wrong? I have had noting but issues from the start. I have not been able to work through any anaconda or python tutorials. This is just the most basic issue. Thanks for the help.
