Version:        PennMUSH 1.7.7p13

Files  :        src/help.c
Syntax :        patch -p0 < Help_Patch

This patch can be used to modify the help.c file, in order for indexed-text files to be 
displayed with automatic borders. You can modify the border pattern by changing the border 
variable (Currently set as: ==--==-- etc). The command name and topic is displayed in the 
header, surrounded by borders.
