[Ohrrpgce] SVN: teeemcee/8828 Finally add new Custom title screen. Also add a help file

[James Paige]

Yeah, I went googling around a bit, and learned that % in filenames is
annoying for batch files, mildly inconvenient for a few edge cases in shell
scripting, and widely recommended against for what appears to be purely
superstitious reasons.

So I am just going to count my aversion to it as superstition.

It ain't like I haven't worked with enough filenames that get "%20"
embedded in them one way or another ;)
