You need to identify the string to be replaced by applying
a Frame char format to it, unless it is the only string in
its paragraph, in which case its Frame para format will work.  
It's all in the User's Guide...

WinHelp is hard to navigate???!?

<gag>  No, you don't want a plain text version of the User's 
Guide.  You really don't.  The thousands of xrefs in it would 
not work, for one thing...

Chapter 24, "Working with Mif2Go macros", says it all.
You could read the relevant paragraphs in less time than 
it took you to write this email...

So I guess you don't like any of the formats we have at:
  http://www.omsys.com/dcl/download.htm#Mif2Go_UG

That list includes WinHelp, MS HTML Help, OmniHelp, Java Help, 
Oracle Help for Java, HTML, XHTML, Word RTF, FrameMaker, and 
even PDF.  Surely you could navigate in a PDF?  Or just get 
the Frame version, and save it as plain text from Frame, if 
you can't stand to see the hyperlinks... but that would be
**really** hard to navigate...  ;-)
