another manpage update
Split some lines that began with one sentence and then continued with another so that each sentence has its own line as per 'roff guidelines. Change the continuation lines in the files and environment sections to begin with <backslash><space><tab> instead of just <tab>, again to meet the guidelines (don't begin lines with whitespace). This had a side-effect of suppressing some space insertion for justifying right margin of right-hand column on some of the lines. That hadn't looked very good anyway. Add new file 'usagehlp' to the files section. Also add previously unmentioned Guidebook[.txt], but it's hard to explain why it probably won't be present.... Update the bones file entry. 'cmdhelp' isn't used anymore. Should it be moved to outdated/dat and the Makefile install steps be updated to stop bothering with it?
