SET HELP example

To display a dialogue box from which to select an available Help file, issue the following command:

 SET HELP TO ?

 or

 SET HELP TO *.HLP

To set Help to your own tailored help file:

 SET HELP TO "C:\PROGRAM FILES\MyApplication\HELP\MyHlp.HLP"

Note: It's advisable to store custom help files in your application's directory, or a "HELP" sub-directory, as illustrated in the preceding command. We used the full path in this example for the sake of simplicity, since each users path will vary according to their current location. When in doubt, the full path always works. As in the above example, quotes are necessary when the path includes spaces.

To set the Help file back to the dBASE Plus default:

 SET HELP TO
