Example

A menu that contains a list of REXX functions might be called FUNCTION HELPMENU. In this case, the HELP files for the individual functions can only be located if they are duplicated under the file type HELPFUNC. The .MT control word defines a component ID to override that derived from the file name. The FUNCTION menu could be:
.MT REXX
to specify the menu contains a list of REXX commands and thus will be found under the file type “HELPREXX”.
