Cute ASCII art.  Not a bad idea either.  But is this going to require root to install a doc?  I think it's a bit overboard to need root access to install a 5kb text file or whatever.  Is there another way to do that?  I can see a ~/.gnome/ddocs/ method, but that will create multiple copies of the file for > 1 user systems.
