- HELP.EXE - This is the help utility for DOSGATE. It looks for a file
- with the extention of '.DOC'; ie: if the user types 'HELP ME',
- HELP.exe will look for the file 'ME.DOC', and if found, give
- that to the user a page at a time. If the user simply types
- 'HELP' then help.exe will look for a file called 'HELP.DOC' and
- give that to the user a page at a time. This method allows the
- sysop to customize all help files as needed.
