st: sthlp file not displaying correctly

Thank you Daniel and Nick. But the problem still continues (I've tried
with cmd in place of cmdab). If there are any tips on
detecting/getting rid of hidden characters then I'd be grateful. I
have tried writing the sthlp file with Textedit (A Notepad-like
program on mac) as well as with the Stata do-file editor, but the same
problem results.
