WinHugs, fix up menu help messages
Hi, This puts sensible descriptions for each menu item. Where the menu item has gone, the description is removed. Where new menu items are created, they have the appropriate description. Thanks Neil

I'd like to attach the User's Guide to Help/Contents, though we could also offer the old User Manual (hugs98.chm) lower down the menu as a backup. HELPCOMMANDS should probably be "Summary of Hugs Commands". Links to the Haskell 98 Report and the Hierarchical Libraries (at http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.4-latest/html/libraries/index.html) might also be useful.

I'm unsure what the different between the User Guide and User Manual are, is one just a newer version? Its probably best to just put the latest one under Help/Contents, or you start to confuse people - the last thing you want is to have to find help to find how to find help!

Libraries I would say yes. Haskell Report is a bit too dense for most people who are learning, and those who aren't can find it themselves from Haskell.org - its rare to read the report. Does Hugs tend to ship with documentation on the libraries installed? Thanks Neil

The User's Guide is current, but missing details of some advanced features, notably Trex. The User Manual hasn't been updated for many years, but is still the best reference for things like Trex.
Hi, Updated patch. Like before, but: No users guide/manual. The users guide can go under Help/Contents. HELPCOMMANDS text changed Added link to heirarchical libraries. I'll fix the code to agree with the menu items once the .chm files can be successfully built, so I know whats happening with them. Thanks Neil
