- Here's the file GOPHER.HELP that I think comes with the GOPHER for VMS
- package and is pointed to by the logical GOPHERHELP :
-
- --------begin gopher.help---------------------
-
- Keystroke Action
- ========= ====================================================
- <RETURN> Read current selection
- u or U Go back one menu level
- s Save current selection to a file
- q or Q Quit and return to VMS
- O Change program options
- ? Display help file
-
- -------------end gopher.help-------------------
-
- and here's the GOPHER.RNH file I quickly created for our local HELP
- entry:
-
- -----------begin gopher.rnh--------------------
