[GEM-dev] help files gemgl*

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I think it would be pretty easy to scrap that page and stick the key  
text bits into the help page.  Something like "NAME", "C  
SPECIFICATION", "PARAMETERS", and "DESCRIPTION".  I imagine that this  
stuff doesn't change very often.

Ideally there would be working examples for each function, but that's  
a big project.  What else should go on that help page?
