HELP opens the Help window.  The main Help window contains an extensive
list of topics listed alphabetically.

You can access the Help window by typing HELP in the Command window,
pressing the F1 key or choosing Help... from the System menu popup.

Clauses
-------

IN [WINDOW] <window name>
        The Help window can be opened within a parent window.  It does not
assume the characteristics of the parent window it is placed in.  If the
Help window is activated inside a parent window it may not be moved
outside the parent window.  If the parent window is moved, the Help
window moves with it.  The parent window must first be defined with
DEFINE WINDOW.

IN [WINDOW] SCREEN
        You can also place the Help window on the screen by including IN WINDOW
SCREEN or IN SCREEN.  The Help window is placed on the screen by
default.

<topic>
        The Help window can be opened with a specific help subject already
displayed.  Include with HELP the <topic> you would like more
information about.  If you include just a partial spelling of a <topic>,
FoxPro opens the Help window with the closest matching topic selected.

NOWAIT
        When HELP is issued from within a program, the Help window is opened
and program execution pauses until the Help window is closed.  Including
NOWAIT continues program execution after the Help window has been
opened.  The program doesn't wait for the Help window to be closed, but
continues executing on the program line immediately following that
containing the HELP NOWAIT command.
