Adding Help Topics

Configuration of the help data base requires two or more ASCII files created in a

specific format. The first file is called HELP.DIR and acts as a directory for the other

help data base files. Each of the other help files may have any valid DOS file name, as

long as the file name has a .HLP extension. The HELP.DIR file and several .HLP files

are included when User Configurable Help is installed.
