DESCRIPTION
The \fImkmanpage\fR task is used to create a fill-in-the-blanks type
template, to be edited to create the manual page for the named help module
or task.  Depending upon the type of manual page to be created, \fImkmanpage\fR
copies the template file to the current directory, creating a new file with
the name "module.hlp", where \fImodule\fR is the name entered on the
command line.  The editor is called up to edit the file and the task exits.

EXAMPLES

up the editor to edit the new file.
