	You can almost do this now, somewhat.

	You have to use raw_helpfile/helpfile in the .conf file to define a new help/indx
	pair, but then instead of the above just do:

& samplehelp

[textfile(sample,topic)]


The news and help or any other helpfile that calls this would have to be defined with
'helpfile' and not 'raw_helpfile' however so that the function would evaluate.
