Subject: Helpfiles

Hi!

We're developing a MOO with a MUS* interface for the MOO-impaired to make
slow transitions with.

Part of the problem is that we'll need to have some extensive additions to
the helpfiles and we'd just as soon keep out of the core as much as possible
(this allows for easy upgrades to new cores).

So -- my question is: How does one add help, such that it's not modifying
the core in a huge way - thus preventing an upgrade - or losing the work
in a core upgrade.

Thanks!

Falryx

>From your other recent post, I see that you have a new player class for your
modifications to the core.  Create a new child of $generic_help and set
<your-player-class>.help to that object.  Add all of your new help topics to
the new help database.  See `help $help' for more details.
