The fact that they're html makes it *very* possible to display in a different
size, but you'll have to use a regular browser to do it, since Help Viewer doesn't
have an option to change the base font size. In other words, fire up your browser
of choice, crank up the font size, navigate into the help files (HD : System
Folder : Help : ...), and start opening pages. Of course, this means you'll lose
some of the "do it for me" features, because they rely on link types that only
Help Viewer understands.
