- What This Program Does
- It should be used in conjunction with
- the articles on interactive help and the
- MsgTrans module in Archive.
-
- The program does very little, other than
- providing a demonstration of interactive
- help - you must have Acorn's !Help
- application installed and its window
- open to see it. The messages are passed
- to !Help using the RISC-OS message
- passing routines, and are fetched from a
- file using the MsgTrans module. If you
- are interested in incorporating these
- techniques into your own code, read the
- articles and then study
-
- (a) The BASIC code in the !RunImage
- file
-
- (b) The messages file
-
- The application has a bonus, since the
- code for producing a fuller on-line
- tutorial in a window like this one, is
- also included.
