- IF YOU HAVE A "CONTEXT-SENSITIVE" VERSION OF NIFTY HELP, this screen will
- pop up if, when you press the hot key, the cursor is beneath (or just to the
- right of) the word, "COMPUTER". Assume that you're using a data base and are
- being prompted as follows:
-
- Type of computer: _
-
- Since the cursor is just to the right of the word "computer", if you were to
- press the help program's hot key, this file would appear, because it has been
- given the name "COMPUTER.HLP".
-
- You could make custom help files for many keywords in your data base.
- Whenever your cursor is to the right of (or beneath) a keyword having a file
- named after it, the appropriate file will pop up when you tap the hot key.
-
- In order for this "context-sensitive" help to work, the HELP.MNU file must
- contain a line (any line between 25 and 74) for each such keyword. For examp-
- le, the example HELP.MNU file supplied with this program contains the line,
-
- =COMPUTER.HLP
-
- "=" points to a file with a name identical to the first 1 to 8 characters of
- the keyword with which you need help.
