- ** UBHELP ( ver. 1.2 ) **
-
-
- UBHELP is an on-line help system for UBASIC.
-
-
- 1. Files in the UBHELP package and installing and removing UBHELP
-
- UBHELP consists of the following files:
-
- UBHELP.COM program file
- UBHELP.TBL command table file
- UBHELP.XXX documentation for UBHELP
- UBHELP.DOC this file
- UBH.UB a UB-program to make UBHELP.TBL
-
- UBHELP is a resident program, which will remains in your
- computer's memory until you remove it. Place "UBHELP.TBL" and
- "UBHELP.XXX" in the same directory, say "c:\ub\ubhelp", and type
-
- UBHELP /dc:\ub\ubhelp
-
- on the DOS command line, before starting UBASIC. After quitting
- from UBASIC, type
-
- UBHELP /r
-
- on the DOS comand line once again, then UBHELP will be removed
- from the memory. It may be convinient to use the batch file
- consisting of following three lines:
-
- UBHELP /dc:\ub\ubhelp (stay)
- UBIBM (execute UBASIC)
- UBHELP /r (remove)
-
- (Note: When UBASIC is started by a batch file, the DOSCMD
- statement will behave differently as you will expect.)
-
- 2. How to use UBHELP
-
- Hit CTRL+\ in UBASIC and the help-window will be displayed.
- If the character just at the cursor position is a blank, the
- main menu will be appeared. To select the item, move the
- cursor to the target item and hit return. Then the instruction
- of the item will be appeared.
- If the string starting from the cursor position is a statement
- or a function of UBASIC, the instruction of the item will be
- appeared directly.
- Hit CTRL+\ once again, you will find the submenu of this
- help system. We skip the details of this submenu. You should
- try to see this.
-
- 3. Revising the help texts.
-
- You can rewrite the help texts in "UBHELP.XXX" to get more
- suitable informations. Rewrite "UBHELP.XXX" by your text editor
- and run "UBH.UB" on UBASIC. Then the table file "UBHELP.TBL"
- will be updated and you can use the new "UBHELP.XXX" from that
- time.
-
- 4. Copyright and Distribution of UBHELP
-
- You can duplicate and distribute UBHELP freely. And please
- note that the copyright is still kept by the author.
