SET HELPFILTER
        [AUTOMATIC] TO [<expL>]

-----------------------------------
Displays subset of help topics in Help window.
-----------------------------------

AUTOMATIC
        Automatically remove HELPFILTER criteria after Help window is closed.
Including AUTOMATIC is identical to issuing SET HELPFILTER TO
immediately after  Help window is closed.  AUTOMATIC must be placed
directly before TO <expL> filter expression.

TO <expL>
        Help topics are filtered based on <expL>.  Only those records in help
database which meet the condition specified by <expL> appear in the Help
window.

        Filter expression <expL> includes field from help database.  Any field
from help database may be included in filter expression.

The following table contains the general categories and two-letter
abbreviations used in the CLASS field of the FOXHELP.DBF help file.
These abbreviations can be used to filter help topics.  (The two-letter
abbreviations are not necessarily exclusive to any one general
category.)

Note that if a HELPFILTER is SET, topics on the See Also popup must meet
the filter condition for the associated help text to be displayed.  If
one does not meet the filter condition, choosing it from the popup will
display a No help found for... message.
