JP Software's 4DOS has a help utility that puts a pop-up menu on the screen
from which you can select help on all the MSDOS and 4DOS commands, internal
and external.  (There are _many_ other reasons to check out 4DOS as well! :-)
For the other utilities, you could put short readme files and doc files in
some directory and write a batch file (e.g., MAN.BAT) which executes something
like:
	more < %1.DOC
of course, you have to rename the README and DOC files so they are saved as
<progname>.DOC. :-)
