' User-defined callable scroll help box system
' Called using SCROLLBOX=HelpFile,HeaderString
' Practical Limits: About 64K per help file (scan speed is the issue)
' Use unique header strings, or at least be sure that
' your help starts at the first occurence of the string.
' While .DEF files will be compiled in the future, it

About PullDown...
PullDown is a ShareWare menu shell system permitting
total system customization and addition of a truly
professional shine to any IBM compatible PC. It was
written using QBX/BC7 PDS with assembler extentions
from Crescent software, DIALOGIC from Dialog Software,
and compiled in September of 1990. A Dealer/Consultant
arrangement is available to interested professionals
who want to use PullDown to add value to client sites
at very very low cost. Enjoy the software!

and gaining prominence as the menu system to select
in the '90s... thanks to many ardent supporters!

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.
Enjoy! (Scroll the box down to see more in 25 line mode)

the system and request enhancements! Thank you for evaluating
the package. Oh, a tip: when creating help files, be sure that
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
anywhere, but we would want novice users (or
maybe even experts) to THINK that there was to
discourage repeated attempts at the password.
