MPE does not support the Unix concept of 'here' files, where input data
for the command can reside in the same file as the command, except in
the case of jobs. But even in a job, you may not include inline data for
a script or UDC invoked by that job.

The SPOOKHELP script on Jazz at: 
 http://jazz.external.hp.com/src/scripts/spook/spkhlp5.0.txt

may be of some use. This single script contains the help text for all of
the SPOOK commands plus the code to search for and display that text
once HELP xyzzy is entered.

Let me know if you have any questions.
