The overview help in va does not work in many cases. Mostly the blame
lies in the Va_help file. However, the program itself has wrong help
label in some code. For example, in the Edit menu, several options
all show the help for Set Velocity Function Types.
So the following files (in vfgui subdirectory) need altering:

vf_pop_misc.cc
change TYPES_OVERVIEW to MISC_OVERVIEW

vf_pop_names.cc
change TYPES_OVERVIEW to NAMES_OVERVIEW

vf_pop_raytrace.cc
change TYPES_OVERVIEW to RAYTRACE_OVERVIEW

vf_pop_multiply.cc
change TYPES_OVERVIEW to MULTIPLY_OVERVIEW

Note that the latter is not defined in the Va_help file, so some
help should be added like this:

overview_MULTIPLY_OVERVIEW: Multiply velocity\n\
Allows user to multiply the active velocity function\n\
or all picked functions by a constant.

    I have patched the 5 help files in the spws-home/app-defaults subdirectory so as to greatly
    reduce seeing things like "No help found for .... help2"
    They are in the attached tar file.
