Sorry John, User created help files are not supported because the utility we
use to create them is not available outside of Digital.  The program executes
on a RISC/ULTRIX and takes as input the .hlb.  It is part of the package for
help library support on RISC/ULTRIX.

I think the LSE product on RISC/ULTRIX did something different and they do
support user-created help libraries.
