330	mbuild help request should support internal mbuild info residing in more than one .info segment	Gary Dixon	Gary Dixon	"The mbuild help (h) request currently expects all mbuild internal info blocks to reside is a single mbuild.info segment.  That segment has grown to almost 1800 lines in length.  Also, enhancement ticket #329 proposes adding many additional info segments to mbuild's documentation set.  This extra documentation would definitely cause the mbuild help request to fail in parsing such a large info segment (usually because of ""record quota overflow"" on temporary storage used by help_ to parse the lines of a single info segment).

This ticket proposes that mbuild_help_.pl1 be enhanced as follows.

- The mbuild help request should look for mbuild-related info blocks in several info segments.

- The mbuild help request should accept a -section (-scn) control argument to permit selection of info blocks which include a section title matching the -section STR operand.  Display of selected info blocks should begin that that matching section.

- mbuild should include a list_help (lh) request which provides the user with a list of help TOPICs available via the mbuild help (h) request.

- The mbuild list_requests (lr) request should list available requests in a more useful order.  Requests needed to advance work within a build_directory should appear first, followed by less-important mbuild-specific requests, followed by ssu_-provided subsystem-support requests (like list_requests, ?, ., .., etc.).
