<h2>Help Dialog</h2>
<p>
The Help dialog is used to display information on a variety of topics.
<a name="links"></a>
<p>

Display the given file in a separate dialog.
<li> <b>get:</b><i>url</i><br>
Download the specified file and process it according to its type:
<ul>
<li>
A HTML file (.htm or .html) is displayed in the Help dialog.
Note that this HTML file can contain <b>get</b> links with partial URLs.
For a good example of their use, see the
<a href="get:http://www.conwaylife.com/golly.html">LifeWiki Pattern Archive</a>.
<li>
A text file (.txt or .doc or a name containing "readme") is displayed in
a separate dialog.
<li>
A zip file's contents are displayed in the Help dialog.

<li>
A pattern file is loaded and displayed.
</ul>
