/**
   This class is the base class for all html help implementations.
   It requires the name of a directory containing the documentation
   and a file mapping numerical Section numbers to relative URLS.

   The map file contains two or three fields per line:
   numeric_id  relative_URL  [; comment/documentation]

   The numeric_id is the id used to look up the entry in
   DisplaySection()/DisplayBlock(). The relative_URL is a filename of
   an html file, relative to the help directory. The optional
   comment/documentation field (after a ';') is used for keyword
   searches, so some meaningful text here does not hurt.
   If the documentation itself contains a ';', only the part before
   that will be displayed in the listbox, but all of it used for search.

   Lines starting with ';' will be ignored.
