The reason the info is there is so that users, like me, know what the 
USE flag is for.  Me personally, I still think some of them don't help 
much and need more info but it is better than it used to be.  So, if you 
can make them shorter and users still able to figure out what they do, 
great.  If not, then the info needs to stay.   Us users need it.

Thanks.
