                        Black Hole Master Help System
                       ===============================
                       
The world's first user-adaptive manual! The world's only manual to include
special help for Idiots! Why?

The reason for the existence of the Master Help System is twofold:

1) I wanted to split up the original enormous help file into smaller bits
   so that people could easily find their way around.
   
2) A lot of the information is quite technical. I wanted some way to filter
   out the technical stuff for the people who might get confused by it, and
   also to filter out the Noddy stuff for the experts.
   
The thing is pretty simple to operate - just select the level of technical
detail you want and then choose a topic. The program will build up some
appropriate help for you and then display it in your usual text editor.

This system is still in an experimental stage. If anyone has any comments
or ideas for improvements please contact me and I will endeavor to wriggle
out of it.

'You raise up your head and you ask "Is this where it is?"
 and somebody points to you and says "It's his"
 and you say "what's mine?" and somebody else says "well what is?"
 and you say "Oh my God am I here all alone?"
 but something is happening and you don't know what it is
 do you, Mr. Jones?'
