SYNTAX

InteractiveHelp

DESCRIPTION

This script provides an interactive, dialog-driven interface to the MPW Help system. It takes no command-line parameters or options. (If you want command-line driven help, use the built-in Help command.)

The InteractiveHelp script provides you with a number of help summaries or help on any individual MPW command. Help information appears in a separate MPW window which is created or moved to the foreground when the script executes. The contents of this window is not usually saved to disk when it is closed, but it can be explicitly saved if you want.

InteractiveHelp presents you with one or two dialogs, depending on the type of help requested. The first dialog presents a list of help summaries for you to choose from. It also includes an option to get help on an individual MPW command. If a summary is chosen, the help window comes to the foreground and the summary information appears in the help window (replacing any previous contents).

If help on a specific command is requested, a second dialog appears. This dialog lists all the commands which the help system knows about. When a command is chosen from this list, help information appears in the help window.
