!Help is a short program that allows you to view a file of help text for
an application in a controlled manner without having to have Edit handy.
To use it you should create a text file called HelpText and save it in
the !Help directory. The text is divided into lines by !Help, each line is
terminated by a control character (ie one with an ASCII value of less than
32), and each text line appears on a separate line in the !Help window. So
if any lines are more than 78 characters long you will not be able to see
more than the first 78 characters of them. To make sure this doesn't happen
use the format command in Edit (Ctrl + F6) at the top of each paragraph,
this will place line feeds in your text at the end of each line.
The first line in the 'HelpText' file is used as the window title.
!Help will automatically allocate itself any extra memory that it may
need to load the help text into, so the initial WimpSlot size is fairly
irrelevant, just set it as low as possible.
Finaly copy the whole !Help application into your own application
directory. You will then be able to use !Help by selecting the 'Help' option
from the application submenu of the filer menu.
!Help is a 'Freeware' program, ie you are free to use it in your own
programs provided the files '!Help.!ReadMe', '!Help.!Run', and
'!Help.!RunImage' are copied, unaltered, into your application directory.
Obviously the HelpText file may be changed.
