SET HELP ON | OFF
SET HELP TO [<file>]
-----------------------------------
Enables or disables on-line help facility or specifies a different help
file.
Default value - ON
Default value - FOXHELP
-----------------------------------
SET HELP ON or OFF enables or disables the FoxPro on-line help facility.
SET HELP TO allows you to specify a different help database file.
See the FoxPro Interface Guide for more information on FoxPro's on-line
help facility.
ON
If HELP is SET ON, you can display the Help window by pressing F1,
typing HELP in the Command window or choosing Help... from the System
menu popup. The default setting for HELP is ON.
OFF
If HELP is SET OFF, the on-line help facility is not available.
TO <file>
You can specify a different help file with SET HELP TO <file>. This is
a convenient way to provide a tailored on-line help facility within a
custom application.
A help database has just four restrictions:
. It must contain at least two fields
. The first field must be a character field
. The second field must be a memo field
. It can have a maximum of 32,776 records
If you issue the command SET HELP TO without specifying a file, FoxPro
looks for a database file with the name FOXHELP.DBF.
