Actually DON'T do this. Tried on CHIMPY::, it broke the LIBRARY parser somehow.

Quick idea re: HLP/INFO.TXT files:

If you format your INFO.TXT file like a HLP file, it'll automagically be processed and look like a proper VMS help file - however due to the fact that the info.txt puller adds a

		2 <NODENAME>

section heading, all your sections should be 3 or deeper.

So for example, CHIMPY's INFO.TXT could (and will) look like this:

---- SNIP ----
