        Updated all files in the help/C/dialogs dir. This is
        a first alpha glimpse of the help system. Please give
        me feedback of the content. However since it's in alpha
        stage it means that there is spell, grammatical, etc errors.
        There is may also be pure errors which I hope "you" will
        report to either olof@gimp.org or karin@gimp.org. Please
        don't report spell, grammatical, etc error at this stage in dev.

        If you have any plans to commit to the help system please write
        to olof@gimp.org. (This is mandatory not a please ;-).

<P>
Will add a layer mask to the currently active layer. A layer mask is a way
to control transparency of the current layer . The mask it self is a grayscale
"image" where black pixels will make the layer totally transparent and white
pixels will make it opaque.
<P>
The fill dialog enables you to choose the initial fill of the layer mask.
Black which will make the layer totally transparent, white which will make
the layer totally opace or the alpha channel of the layer. When you choose
the alpha channel the transparency of each pixels will be mapped to a grayscale
value in the mask. If you want to further manipulate the transparency in
a layer this can be a very good option (e.g maybe you have softly erased
some parts of the image and want to continue to manipulate the transparency).
<P>
To work with the layer mask you have to active it, you do that by clicking
on the thumbnail image of the mask. However you will not see the mask you
will just see the result of your mask operations. To see the mask you have
to &lt;ZZZZ&gt; click on the thumbnail. If you want to see you layer without
the mask you have to &lt;ZZZZ&gt; click &nbsp;&nbsp;on the thumbnail. Remember
to to click one again with the same modification key to exit the current
"preview" state.
