- POPUP HELP MENU DEMO
- by Todd Burkey
-
- Hate clicking on and paging through README files? Well, give this program a
- try. README.PRG is a standalone program that uses my POPUP HELP mechanism to
- create nice, heirarchical help menus. Originally intended for HDSCAN, I have
- decided to release this README application w/source code so others out there
- can use it, learn from it, and hopefully even improve on it. POPHELP is easy
- to use, just press HELP and use the arrows to move around. Press HELP again
- (while inside POPHELP) if you get confused. Yep, even mono-chrome and mouse
- lovers are supported. Some technical notes:
-
- 1) POPHELP is file driven. A procedure reads in MENU.TRB which describes
- the popup hierarchy. Think of this as a help resource file.
- 2) POPHELP has a limit of 100 popup menus (as compiled herein). Menu 0 is
- for people who get confused.
- 3) Short (<24 line) files can be automatically shown (see the examples.)
