- This file is an example of how YOU can create
- context sensitive help thru PowerMenu.
-
- Your file, HELP.MEN, must be an ASCII file with less
- than 400 lines of 54 column text.
-
- When the user hits [Shift-function key], PowerMenu
- will look for a KEYWORD in this file consisting of
- an asterisk (*) followed by the upper-case name of
- the corresponding menu selection. The help text
- that you have written will appear on the screen, and
- the user can scroll up and down from there.
-
- Furthermore, if the '?' key is hit, PowerMenu will
- look for the key word *USER_HELP, and position the
- help file there. Look at the following example, and
- you'll see what we mean.
