- Program THELP was originally written by a Mr. Glenn Wood of the
- Greenville PC Club of Greenville, Texas. This updated version
- was reprogrammed by John Sloan, AlphaOmega Computer Services,
- Devon, Alberta (CIS 71310,2267). It is entirely memory resident
- and takes up about 46,944 K of memory space. It has been tested
- on PCjr, PC CGA, EGA, Herc. compatible, PS2 VGA, MCGA.
-
- To keep the memory size down, many of the original Procedure and
- Function help screens have been deleted. These, however, are
- available from the Turbo 4.0 editor using either <F1> or <ALT-
- F1>. Thelp 4.0 now installs correctly on the PCjr and searches
- for any available user interrupt between 60H and 67H. If it
- finds an available slot it will install itself otherwise it will
- abort with an error message. Thelp 4.0 will also detect whether
- it has already been installed or not.
-
- After it has been installed <ALT-H> causes it to window into the
- current application. Help screen sets include:
-
- Basic Turbo 4 Syntax structure
- Compiler Directives
- Fatal Runtime Error messages
- I/O and DOS error messages
- Reserved word list
- Keyboard scan code table
-
- Page number references to the Turbo 4 manual are included at the
- top of most help screens.
-
- The window routines have been borrowed from Eric Snyder's
- excellent Minigen vs 1.3 screen generator. This program only
- uses Snyder's MGProg.TPU unit to compile. The remaining Minigen
- programs are available on Compuserve's Borland SIG: BPROGA, DL2.
