- these lines are remark lines, only lines that appear between the help
- definitions directives are processed by the help compiler, or lines that
- start with a period and a reserved command such as .include or .linkcolor
-
- The next section defines a topic called overview. You must have a
- topic like that in your database, it is the entry point of the
- help database, when the help engine displays the first page of
- the database.

- .entry overview
-
- This is the first line of the overview topic in the help demo database.
- The previous line did not have any ~link~link~, while this one does.
-
- Press the Enter key to view the link topic help page.
-
- .end-entry
-
- As can be seen, the only link available from the overview page is a topic
- called link. In the next section we will define the link topic, and
- include 2 links in it. One to the previous link (overview), and an
- additional one - somewhere else.
-
- ;******************************************************************************
- ; link *
- ; notice that this topic's title will be different then the topic name *
- ; because of the use of the .TITLE keyword. *
- ; notice also that the topic is defined by .topic and .end-topic which are *
- ; the same as the .entry .end-entry keywords *

- Welcome to the link help page, since this is a demo help database, we
- know that you arrived to this page from the ~overview~overview~ page,
- by pressing the link hot-link. In this page we will demonstrate the
- ability to include 2 different names (or more) that will take us to the
- same link.
- .end-paragraph
-
- Example :
-
- Related Topics : ~Topic~Topic~
- ~General~overview~
- .end-topic
-
- In the above section we defined 3 links, that are linked to 2 topics, we
- showed that we can reach the same topic from more then one spot in the
- same topic, using different names.
-
- We will now define the third and final page in the helpdemo database, this
- topic is called topic. Notice that if we did not include this one, the
- helpC help compiler would have told us that there is a link defined,
- that is not defined as a topic.

- Well.. it seems as if you succeeded to reach this point by yourself,
- this is the 3rd page of the HELPDEMO help database. From this
- help page you can go to the ~previous~link~ help page, or to the
- ~entry~overview~ help page.

-
- Have fun using the help compiler and help engine ..
-
- Notice - this line demostrates the use of a ~~ in a text page.
- (Please refer to the HELPDEMO.HDF file an example .. )

- There are more pages you can get to from here - One of these links is defined
- in a ~.INCLUDE~include~ file. Please refer to the helpC documentation for
