Managed to get it right in the .COM file though:

{RHESUS$} type UPDHECNETHELP.COM
$LIBRARY/REPLACE/HELP SYS$HELP:HELPLIB.HLB RHESUS::[.HECNETHLP]HECNET.HLP

Weird.

Follow up:

I've added the first version of this file to RHESUS::[HECNETHLP]HECNET.HLP

There's also a script in there that updates your HELP library straight from RHESUS:: called UPDHECNETHELP.COM

Wait, what?
-----------

After just converting a bunch of informational text files into VMS HELP files and realizing how easy the process was, I thought of an idea - a HECNET.HLP file to supplement the Info Server on RHESUS:: etc.

Basically, if you have a node on HECnet, just send me what you have in INFO.TXT (and/or other information about your system) and I will add them to a central HECNET.HLP file, which will be placed on RHESUS:: for your convenient downloading.

Importing the help file
-----------------------

LIBRARY/REPLACE/HELP SYS$HELP:HELPLIB.HLB HECNET.HLP


Format
------

The format basically goes:

<number> Section heading 
<number + 1> Subsection heading
<number> Next section heading

Please start your numbering at 2, as section 1 will be general info about HECnet (prob pulled from the website).

The quick and easy way is to just paste 2 <NODE NAME> to the top of your info.txt and send it to me.

Exempli gratia of format:
