Yeah, you didn't really think I was doing nothing and just writing up 
changelog entries for it, did you? :-)

This sounds reasonable.

I had that in mind as a longer term goal. It would probably be nice to 
convert the associated images to PNG's or something.

To the help file output or to the help system in general? If you're 
referring to the help system in general, that is something I am going to 
continue to wittle away at (as mentioned in my previous message). If you 
want to see cosmetic improvements that I have already made, then the 
first couple of paragraphs of the unit type descriptions are an example 
of what I have in mind. Even those can be further improved; I plan on 
making list (table row or table col) output easier to read, and making 
subsection headings stand out better (probably with an H4 tag in HTML).
