Shorten lines in "Help Screen" to 60 characters maximum to prevent wrapping problems on Linux, and shorten the text so it should still fit on one screen at 800x600.

"Vocal Remover requires a stereo track and works best on audio in a lossless format\nlike WAV or AIFF rather than a compressed, lossy format like MP3. If your song is on\na CD, use a program like CD-ex to rip it to WAV or AIFF before using Vocal Remover.
Vocals (or other audio) can only be removed with this plug-in when panned to center,\nin other words sounding equally loud in both left and right channels. Vocals are often\nrecorded this way. When one channel is inverted and then both panned to center,\nany audio which is identical in both channels is cancelled out, so becomes inaudible.\nThis means that if audio you don't want to remove also happens to be center-panned,\nit will be cancelled out along with the vocals. Drums are an example of audio that is\noften center-panned and can thus disappear when vocals are removed. However, if\nthe vocals and other center-panned parts of the audio differ from each other in pitch\n(and thus in frequency), removing only selected frequencies from the audio can solve\nsuch problems.
Vocal Remover therefore has three choices of removal method. 'Simple' inverts the\nentire frequency spectrum of one channel. If all the audio except the vocals is panned\nhard away from center, this will work the best. If some of the other audio is common\nto both channels, this choice may remove too much music, in which case try the\nremaining options. 'Remove frequency band' removes frequencies in a band whose\nupper and lower limit you specify in the 'Frequency band...' box. Try this choice,\nentering the approxmate frequency range of the vocals, if they are apparently at a\nvery different pitch than the other audio (for example, a high female voice). 'Retain\nfrequency band' removes only those frequencies lying outside the limit you specify,\nretaining the others. This choice can help if there is audio of a particular frequency\nrange (such as low drums or bass) that is lost when using the other methods. Simply\nenter the approximate frequency range of the audio you wish to retain."))

Inverting one\nchannel then panning both to center cancels out any audio\nwhich was originally center-panned, making it inaudible.\nThis can remove some parts of the audio you may want to\nkeep, such as drums, which are also often mixed to center.\nIf the vocals and other centered parts differ in pitch,\nthis can be solved by removing only selected frequencies.\n

If the vocals are at a different\npitch than the other audio (such as a high female voice),\ntry 'Remove frequency band'. This only removes frequencies\nbetween a lower and upper limit which you can enter in the\n'Frequency band...' box. Experiment by entering what sounds\nlike the most significant frequency range of the original\nvocals. If the other choices remove too much audio in a\nparticular frequency range (such as low drums or bass), try\n'Retain frequency band'. This only removes frequencies\noutside the limits entered, retaining the others."))
