Startup GUI, line 529:    lib/init/gis_set.tcl

what about just putting a copy of helptext.html in /usr/lib/grass/docs 
as part of the main package?  (then edit gis_set.tcl)

This version could have a big message at the top of the page:

<h3>GRASS documentation is contained in the grass-doc package</h3>

It's small enough that the file size duplication would be outweighed by
its usefulness.

Perhaps do the same with the main d.m "Help" page too:
/usr/lib/grass/docs/html/index.html 



Any thoughts on including the Programmer's manual with the grass-doc
package? (make htmldocs)  too big?
