Writing programs is kind of fun, but writing help files is pure 
drudgery.  If somebody has written templates that make Textpad or 
other programs easier to use when writing help files, I'd love to see 
them.  I know Statacorp has a long wish list, but anything it could 
come up with would be appreciated.  I've heard people say that they 
didn't bother to put their programs on SSC because they didn't want 
to write a help file.
