Thanks, @stevengj. It was not clear to me what needed to be done (I tried what was suggested by the message, adding a README.md to the /pkg directory, and re-maked the documentation, and that didn’t work), and I had asked what needed to be done [on Discourse here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/no-documentation-for-base-packages-at-repl-help-prompt/3068), but did not get a reply there. I might have a shot at adding it, thanks for the explanation.
