VSI continues to evaluate the development of a rich, modern 
object-oriented help management system that will avoid such errors in 
the future.

Until then, we are concerned with the backwards compatibility of 
changing this help text, as customers may have parsed this output and 
linked to it in a traditional way, and therefore are expecting 
information about PRODUCT REMOVE in the PRODUCT INSTALL section.
