Thanks Doug (and Mark),

That's especially useful for commands whose help text is longer than 1023
lines, as there is a long standing bug in MPE's HELP command in which help
text longer than that is truncated. Just do :HELP STORE ALL to see what I
mean. The display simply stops after 1023 lines though it's obvious there's
more text you're not seeing. [Note: this HELP bug seems to have been fixed
with MPE/iX 7.0, but is definitely still present on a 6.5 PP4 system.]

The HTML page for the STORE help text includes everything without
truncation:  http://www.beechglen.com/mpe/help/store.html

Very nice, thanks!
