That is exactly what I was thinking. You have full permission to use and
modify the text.
I asked:

Steve answered:
It should be 66 characters -- the lines in parts.lst are limited to 80
characters, and the title starts in column 15. But I believe mklist
truncates at 65 characters.
Now Steve reminded me that Mklist was the restrivtive factor I've tested it:
The maximum is 64 characters without the "0 " prefix, equals 66 characters
with the prefix.

I agree.

When this will be configured in such a way that the links bring you to the
specific appropriate text directly, I think that would be a very good idea.
Quick reminders for the more experinced, linking to in depth information for
beginners.
