This is an example of the Library .HLP (Help) menus. You may
place text files here for viewing after adding the path to
the LIBRARY.HLP file. Also, an example of one of the many
"ampersand" variables has been imbedded in this text to show
its use. In this case, the &&63 has been imbedded to prevent
scrolling beyond one page. We have also added the "<Press
Any Key To Continue, While Scrolling Control C or X Will
Abort> phrase just prior to the &&63.
