        Hmm.  I did basically the same thing, ripping out certain
dependencies, and moving some classes into the file so that the help
system fit into a single .py.  I also made some changes to how the
fonts worked, so a little more HTML actually works.  I use it in my
Mom.v3 code.

        Perhaps we should compare notes, and make the thing public.
Several people have asked for small, simple HTML viewer for on-line
help.  It might even be pretty simple to make images work.
