Compiler
The compiler has some well designed subsystems in it.
Unfortunately I kind of threw the top layers over it
in too much of a hurry.
But at least it works, and it is only a programmers tool.
What I hope is that it will inspire someone to write a nice one.
I don't really have the time for this, as I feel my time is better
spent as an OPL 'facilitator' in areas of special interest to
external developers.

This example
The source for this example is Helpxmpl.hlp
I have chosen to put it in my OPD directory
as that is a good place for all miscellaneous
OPL resources.

Things to do
Series 3 Classic version
This requires extensive system knowledge.
XWIM version of compiler
This would allow direct translation
from the menu.
Embedding tool for OPL
This would allow resources to be stored
in OPO and OPA files.
Such a tool would need to add a proper
signature to the resource file.
Adding system items.
You can use specially selected items from the
main system help for inclusion in your index.
The compiler currently does not allow this, but
it may be a nice facility to add.

information
