The latter.  Util/helpfiles wasn't expecting the introductory text at the
beginning of the section, which was only added about a month ago.

The simplest thing is just to discard the introductory text (patch below).
The only other thing to do would be to add another heading after those
introductory paragraphs, and stash the text in between in some made-up
file name; already, Util/helpfiles anticipates a header "DESCRIPTIONS"
even though there isn't one.
