Syntax: hedit [help topic]
This command allows you to edit a help topic. If the specified help topic
does not exist, it will be created for you. The default help page (summary)
will be selected if you do not specify a page.
NOTE - Always, when creating a new help entry, type Help <new entry name>
prior to creating your entry. A pre-existing help file associated
with that keyword may already exist.
Colors can now be added to help files using the same command set that changes
a player's prompt. Multiple color combinations can be set on a given line
including ^bbackground^x colors. However there are a couple of quirks to take
note of:
1) At the very least, the first character of a help file cannot be
either the symbol '&&' or the symbol '^^'.
2) Color changes have to be separated by at least one character. ie,
'&.^^r' will work, '&^^r' will cause problems.
3) Color codes are imbedded within text and _do_ count in note buffers
for line length. ie, watch out for <Long Line Trimmed>.
Colors should be used to enhance the help file, or specific parts of the
help file. Tact and restraint should be used if considering the use of colors.
