- Sample Help
- This demonstrates the powerful user-callable help subsystem
- available in PullDown v2.15. You can make these help screens
- appear at ANY time during the execution of commands, and can
- place anything in them, up to 69 characters wide and 50 lines
- deep. As you can see, this system is indeed powerful, and with
- a bit of work you might define an entire online help system for
- a particular computer, task, tutorial, or just to inform users
- of a set of complicated steps to follow. When combined with the
- ability to branch to other menu definition files, PullDown
- delivers to the expert user a truly professional, sleek, and
- powerful menu system alternative to AUTOMENU or DIRECT ACCESS.

- the test is fairly well blocked looking, or it will seem
- unbalanced on the screen. The AutoHelp system that created this
- dialog is available to QB/QBX programmers who use Crescent's
- QuickPak/Pro and own DIALOGIC from Dialog Software.

- Red Herring
- A "Validation Failure" is not actually recorded
