MacCVS Pro doesn't like deleting the resource, and will still think that
the file has been modified.  How would you set the data for this resource,
are you supposed to use

    resource write -force -file $rid -id 1007 MPSR 0x0000

??  It is possible that any [resource] call will make MacCVS Pro flag the
file in a way we don't want, but it's worth a try...

Of course, if we're only concerned about this for the final release of
AlphaX 8.0, you could just delete the entire contents of the Help file
before you do the final cvs checkout and archiving, I suppose.  (I have
already spent more time experimenting this morning than I really had!)
