The file hid.lst contains a matching table from symbolic HelpIDs to
numeric HelpIDs.
Currently the HID.LST has some drawbacks which could be removed when
switching to symbolic HelpIDs instead of numeric ones. There are some
places, namely Help and the TestTool which need to match the Numeric IDs
to a Symbolic ID. This matching is done using the HID.LST. Apart from
this generating Automatic HelpIDs and getting IDs into the HID.LST
sometimes leads to confusion because there are some boundary conditions
which are not obvious.
These Problems should be removed altogether by switching to symbolic
HelpIDs.
But please read the complete Proposal at

So the merge tool would change a line like this:
HelpID = HID_SOME_HELPID ;
into
HelpID = "HID_SOME_HELPID" ;

(Assuming that currently all the symbolic names in HID.LST start with a
HID_ prefix:) In the string form, the HID_ prefix no longer has a
purpose, so I would drop it. That reduces the amount of data, and
having a common part in all key strings can be detrimental to lookup
performance.
