[Framers] Frame Help files

Thu Apr 6 17:10:34 PDT 2017

There aren't a lot of HTML help options on the default FM output to CHM.
For instance, you get a default small box help window in the top left
corner. The file that controls the layout is hardcoded into FM, apparently
it's an enhancement rather than a requirement (to allow it to be
customised).
