  been compiled.  Help screens can be changed at any time after the
  compilation of the program as the screens are kept in a database file.

  SET KEY <expN> TO MAKEHLP


Pass:       
  Nothing (other than the normal things passed by SET KEY) NOTE:  See
  gc_HelpPrg and gc_HelpVar in Global Variables Section


Return:     
  Nothing


Notes:      


Example:    
  SET KEY 291 TO MAKEHLP


Usage:      
  When this routine is called, you will see a box appear on the screen.
  You should size the box using the technique described in GETCOORD.

  When you have a box that is suitable for your help window, press
  [RETURN].  At this point you may edit the help text as you wish.  When
  you are done, press Ctrl-W.
