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.
