Thank you Chris, for the start, an attempt at continuing
...............................................................................................................

1.  Open the Help entry in the Help browser.
2.  Type the updated text into the Help entry.
     - Cmd+6 = Colored text,
       Cmd+7 = bold,
       Cmd+8 = italics,
       Cmd+_ = Underline
3.  Press Cmd+s to save the entry with the updated text.
4.  Note the dirty -Help package in Monticello browser.

Note:
- you may also add your own *CustomHelp* subclass in your package
<<<<< explain how
- it is possible to add executable Smalltalk code ...... <<<<<<<
explain how to do it.

Issues:

a) in
     Squeak / Core Packages / Commonly used / Compression /
     I have a clickable link that is 'Archive' (black) which opens a
SystemBrowser on class 'Archive'


b)
     Squeak / Core Packages /  Commonly used / Installer /
......... NO LINKS and NO EXECUTABLE code


c)
     Squeak / Core Packages /  Commonly used / ToolBuilder
        there is a black (SystemBrowser) link to debugger and
        a blue (ClassBrowser) link to Toolbuilder

These formatting notes have to go into a book called 'Creating Help
Files' under 'Help on Help'.

How do I create a black (SystemBrowser) link?
How do I create a blue (ClassBrowser) link?

There also needs to be a note for in Squeak / Tutorials / Useful Expression /
      that any executable code may be selected and executed by CMD-D.

Noteworthy in this discussion is  that we could  add more content for
the Installer .....(see screen shot)
