Add documentation of the new hex output formats. Thanks to text contributed by Tom LeMense, the manual now includes documentation of the hex formats he contributed. This also includes some updated text on the ORG directive. Only minor editorial changes vary the text from Tom's original.

>This ASCII format consists of a series of CR+LF terminated "records" of ASCII
text. Each record has the following structure: a start-of-record character
"S", an ASCII record type digit (0-9), a two-digit ASCII hex byte count, a 
four-digit ASCII hex address, an optional sequence of two-digit ASCII hex data
values, and a two-digit ASCII hex checksum. The LW tool chain issues only S0, 
S1, S5 and S9 record types. S1 records are limited to maximum of 16 data bytes
in length, and  paragraph alignment of addresses is favored. The address
sequence of the S-Records directly follows that of the source file; multiple
ORG directives in the source code may result in out-of-sequence addresses in
the S-Record output. </P
><P
>Motorola S-Record format is a standard ASCII format accepted by most memory
device programming equipment. It is particularly useful when the assembled 
code output is destined to reside within an EPROM or Flash memory device,
for example.</P
><P
>LWASM can output this format since version 4.10.</P
