- AHELP: The AmigaDOS command help utility!
- Version 1.2
-
- By Joe Cassara
-
-
- OVERVIEW:
-
- I'm sure that those of you who have used an IBM system
- before have noticed that the Amiga has no help command in DOS.
- I've looked for PD versions of this command for the Amiga and
- didn't find any; so I wrote one. The AHELP system consists of
- the following two files:
-
- HELP - The main program
- (Copied to your C: directory by the install
- script)
-
- HELP.LIBRARY - The support file containing the information
- on the AmigaDOS command set.
- (Copied to your LIBS: directory by the install
- script)
- INSTALLING:
-
- Simply double click on the INSTALL icon in the AHELP drawer.
- The install script does the rest.
-
- USAGE:
-
- Using AHELP is quite easy when in an AmigaShell process:
-
- HELP <command>
- (Displays help on the specified command)
-
- HELP <character>
- (Lists all commands beginning with the specified character)
-
- HELP
- (Lists all commands)
-
- ADDING COMMANDS:
-
- To add commands to the 'Help.library', simply load it into
- your favorite text editor (such as MEmacs) and follow this
- entry format:
-
- <command name>
-
- <help text body>
-
- #
- <command name>
-
- <help text body>
-
- #
-
- etc...
-
- Note the pound (#) sign at the end of the command blocks. This
- informs AHELP that it has reached the end of the help text for that
- command. Without it, AHELP would display the text for every command!
-
-
- THE END:
-
- If you have any questions, comments, or ideas on how I can improve
- AHELP write to:
-

-
- If you like this program - hold on a minute... Even if you DON'T
- like this program, please send me a postcard! This will help me
- determine whether I should update the program, and show me where
- the program has traveled. Thank you for your interest in AHELP
- and, most of all, the Amiga!
