Thanks - that is pretty much what I was looking for. I may have to
make a few tweaks (to make it fit the format of the class) but by
and large it seems to be great.
And by the way, it IS in <icon_dir>/ipl/progs under the name of
ihelp.icn but the help file is not in there. Or at least I could
not find it. So thanks for posting it along with your message.
(The reason for posting this to the net rather than just an e-mail
note is so that the Icon group realizes that the help file is not
included with ihelp.icn)
