Experimental gateway 0.4 -- 2 Oct 91

• Accepts user queries by number or by name. In the latter case, can go down several levels, for instance, from the main help page : "cc /lib" will go to topic CC, subtopic /LIBRARY.
• On invocation with only //node:port/HELP, displays the contents of the standard VMS Help library SYS$HELP:HELPLIB.HLB (function lis_to_html).
• Address format : //node:port/HELP/[@library/][topic[/subtopic]*]
