Feel free to pull from MIM if you want to.
Help files under RSX looks the same way as under VMS, by the way, even if the actual
program that reads them is a bit more stupid.
But I feel that this information is a bit too dynamic to really match how help files are
set up. A separate tool, which can pull the information in real time would make more
sense, I think.

Well there's the Info Search on RHESUS, but that's a web service.
This actually can be made to be a cron job that runs every so often and uploads a new file
to RHESUS::, it's fully automated.
"cron" job? Do you have a Unix system there? :-)
Anyway, a command line tool with a somewhat similar interface to HELP was more along the
lines of my thinking. But sure, you could also have a job that regularly pulls down data
and recreates your databases.
It's just a bit of Python and bash scripts that scrapes the RHESUS infoserver, and
then adds the manually created files and finally uploads them to RHESUS.
Original idea was that people would send me actual .HLP files (with subsections etc) that
I then compile into a HECNET.HLP file, this is still the case of course, but INFO.TXT
works too.
