Help file style: latexSplitter should store the label we look for on
each help file it generates.

"""Latex Splitter quickee python app.

This application assists in spliting large Latex files into lots of
smaller ones.

To use this application, paste a latex file into the window. Highlight
the section you wish to save as an independent fragment. Then hit the
button, give the fragment a file name and a topic, and save
it. Continue until you've retreived everything out of the file you
want.

Starting it with a command-line parameter will try to load that file
into the text box.

This program may require Python as high as 2.2, though 2.1 should
do."""
