- To try out a custom help screen for menu entry A1 in menu file zero, rename
- this file to A1.000. It will then pop up when F1 is pressed and the cursor
- is on user menu entry 1 of page A in menu file 0 (HDM.000). You can have a
- file set up for each menu entry in all the menu files that you use as long
- as you stick to this naming convention. HDM will look for these files in
- the same directory as menu files. This will be the directory path set in
- the -0 to -9 startup switches, the -T switch, or the HDM default directory.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- To create a help screen for a different menu entry in a different menu file,
- copy or rename A1DEMO.000 to R5.123. The file R5.123 must then be in the
- same directory as the menu file HDM.123. It will be displayed when the user
- is in menu file 123 on page R with the cursor highlighting entry number 5
- and the <F1> key is pressed. For additional HDM customization see the file
- HELPDEMO.000 for general help for one menu file, HELPDEMO.HDM for a custom
- help system page, and HDMDEMO.HDR for a custom logo screen.
