/ Defining and Using Text Blocks

<End Text Block>

You can use the <End Text Block> command to mark the end of a named block of text.

<End Text Block>

DESCRIPTION

The <End Text Block> command marks the end of a text block definition. You mark the beginning of a named text block using the <Define Text Block> command. After defining a text block with the <Define Text Block> and <End Text Block> commands, you can later reference this text block in those commands that accept named text blocks as parameters. For example, the <Howdy> command requires a named text block as a parameter.

EXAMPLES

#define a text block and give it a name
<Define Text Block> "Howdy Text"   To start, click Topics, Index, or Look For.

   Topics shows general categories, Â
   and Index lists key words. Â
   Look For lets you search for help Â
   according to key words you type.
<End Text Block>
#specify name of the text block that defines the Howdy text
<Howdy> "Howdy Text"
