Orghelp MXP

Orghelp files can now provide MXP links to other orghelp files within
the organization, as well as to actual help files!

For those who aren't aware, MXP links are bits of output that a player
with a MXP-enabled client can click on and their client will send an
appropriate command back to the game. This is extremely useful for
newbies, as it allows easy navigation through help files without them
having to type out HELP <whatever> each time. As such, I strongly
suggest everybody takes the time to update their orghelp files to
support this.

The syntax is straight forward. To link to another one of your
organization's help files, you wrap the help file's name in [[ and ]],
i.e. [[filenamehere]].

To link to an actual help file you should wrap the help file name in [<
and >], i.e. [<helpfilenamehere>].

Here is a slightly more verbose example:

Hello novice! Please take the time to read GHELP [[PROGRESSION]]. You
should also read over HELP [<RAZMAEL>] as he's a pretty cool guy.
