<P>
To use the help file, you have to compile it, which is done with the
command makeHelp, which is located in the Generator directory. It takes
two arguments, which is the Generator directory, and your source file.
<P>
Example:<BR>
If The Dotfile Generator is installed in /usr/local, and you file is called
help.html, write the following to compile it:<BR>
<tt>/usr/local/lib/Generator/makeHelp /usr/local/lib/Generator
help.html</tt><BR>
while you are standing in your modules directory.
This will generate the file called generatedHelp, which is the file The Dotfile Generator
is using for help.
<P>
A temporary file called helpfile.data is also generated, which is The
Dotfile Generator's help file concated with your help file. You may need
this file in case there's a problem with you help file, since it is due
to this file, the error report is given.
