I have written (an MI- [what else?]) program that accepts HTML as
input from a text file and renders it as help text in a green screen
window as closely as possible. Beats IBM's panel groups, because
that HTML is also browsable by your ordinary Windoze (or other OS)
based PC, so it directly usable as documentation. Even prints
nicely. and you have only one copy of online (green screen
and browser) and printed documentation.
