  31 /**
  32    This class implements help via an external browser.
  33    It requires the name of a directory containing the documentation
  34    and a file mapping numerical Section numbers to relative URLS.
  35
  36    The map file contains two or three fields per line:
  37    numeric_id  relative_URL  [; comment/documentation]
  38
  39    The numeric_id is the id used to look up the entry in
  40    DisplaySection()/DisplayBlock(). The relative_URL is a filename of
  41    an html file, relative to the help directory. The optional
  42    comment/documentation field (after a ';') is used for keyword
  43    searches, so some meaningful text here does not hurt.
  44    If the documentation itself contains a ';', only the part before
  45    that will be displayed in the listbox, but all of it used for search.
  46
  47    Lines starting with ';' will be ignored.
