IF YOU HAVE A "CONTEXT-SENSITIVE" VERSION OF NIFTY HELP, this screen will
pop up if, when you press the hot key, the cursor is beneath (or just to the
right of) the word, "COMPUTER". Assume that you're using a data base and are
being prompted as follows:
Type of computer: _
Since the cursor is just to the right of the word "computer", if you were to
press the help program's hot key, this file would appear, because it has been
given the name "COMPUTER.HLP".
You could make custom help files for many keywords in your data base.
Whenever your cursor is to the right of (or beneath) a keyword having a file
named after it, the appropriate file will pop up when you tap the hot key.
In order for this "context-sensitive" help to work, the HELP.MNU file must
contain a line (any line between 25 and 74) for each such keyword. For examp-
le, the example HELP.MNU file supplied with this program contains the line,
=COMPUTER.HLP
"=" points to a file with a name identical to the first 1 to 8 characters of
the keyword with which you need help.
