Altering Existing HELP Files

To alter a HELP file:

  1. Edit the file with a text processing editor (XEDIT).
  2. Add or delete as you wish, making sure that you follow the instructions given in Creating HELP Files.
  3. When using HELPCONV on a file that contains a RELATED section, formatting should be turned off for the entire RELATED section.

You must also change any .CS keyword ON/OFF lines to use the section number instead of the keyword. For example, .CS DESCRIPT ON would become .CS 1 ON. The .CS lines for the BRIEF and RELATED sections must also be changed to .CM, or the text for those sections must be included in a different section.

Note: When using HELPCONV on a HELPTASK or HELPMENU file, formatting should be turned off for the entire file.
