actually..

the gothelp rendering engine was licensed out on source code basis..
ie: if someone wanted to use the rendering engine within their own
application..

we were planning on writing a hack/system extension that would allow
developers to use the gothelp syntax and do something like:

  STRING ID 1000 "my normal help string"
  HEX "hSTR" ID 1000 "<f1>bold</f> help string etc.."

and, then, if the hack was installed - it could pick up the different
help strings automatically.. it was conceptualized :) i did implement
it, just never released it.

now i can replace the FrmHelp() API call on pretty much every 
device that is out there (OS5 included), it might be worth while
looking into again :)
