- FILE Menu Help
- NEW Menu Command
-
- This is the only menu selection in this demo for which there is
- help available. This help screen was put in to demonstrate the online
- help system available with Menusys.
-
- Putting online help accessible with the F1 key into your programs
- is very easy to do using Menusys. Just type in a standard text file with
- your favorite text editor, starting each menu selection section with the
- top/bottom menu selections in square brackets. For example, this help file
- consists of "[1/1]" at the top of the file, followed by the actual help text,
- then three "~" characters to mark the end of this particular help section.
- When you press F1 on Top 1 Bottom 1 menu selections, Menusys searches for
- "[1/1]" in the help file (which is named by the global variable HELPFN$).
- Once it finds it, it displays what it finds up until the "~~~" sequence on
- a line by itself. If you don't want any online help in your program, just
- set the global filename string HELPFN$ to "", or leave it undefined.
-
- The rest of this help file consists of a repetition of the above,
- so you can see the scrolling capabilities of the help system.
