If you'd like it to say something else, feel free to offer suggestions.
As of now, yelp simply doesn't do more than is said there. I merely
created the man page because there was none before.

The See Also is the same for both yelp and gnome-help because they are
both the same page. I did not want to make two man pages simply to
describe two commands which were exactly the same.

Please suggest another way to go about it, or justification on why I
should create two copies of the same information, and I will!
