Program THELP was originally written by a Mr. Glenn Wood of the
Greenville PC Club of Greenville, Texas. This updated version
was reprogrammed by John Sloan, AlphaOmega Computer Services,
Devon, Alberta (CIS 71310,2267). It is entirely memory resident
and takes up about 46,944 K of memory space. It has been tested
on PCjr, PC CGA, EGA, Herc. compatible, PS2 VGA, MCGA.
To keep the memory size down, many of the original Procedure and
Function help screens have been deleted. These, however, are
available from the Turbo 4.0 editor using either <F1> or <ALT-
F1>. Thelp 4.0 now installs correctly on the PCjr and searches
for any available user interrupt between 60H and 67H. If it
finds an available slot it will install itself otherwise it will
abort with an error message. Thelp 4.0 will also detect whether
it has already been installed or not.
After it has been installed <ALT-H> causes it to window into the
current application. Help screen sets include:
Basic Turbo 4 Syntax structure
Compiler Directives
Fatal Runtime Error messages
I/O and DOS error messages
Reserved word list
Keyboard scan code table
Page number references to the Turbo 4 manual are included at the
top of most help screens.
The window routines have been borrowed from Eric Snyder's
excellent Minigen vs 1.3 screen generator. This program only
uses Snyder's MGProg.TPU unit to compile. The remaining Minigen
programs are available on Compuserve's Borland SIG: BPROGA, DL2.
