HELP & FSHELP


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Gentles,

OK, having looked at this I can now see why things work the way they do and I am not sure how to fix things!

So the format of the ¡°EDIT¡± command is:-

?

¡°HELP command <topic> (BRIEF|ALL|MORE¡±

?

This allows there to be multiple help files with the same name for different environments. ?So for example ¡°CHANGE¡± exists as both an EDIT and a CP command.

?

HELP CHANGE

?

Produces the CP help,

?

HELP EDIT CHANGE

?

Produces the help for the EDIT change command.

?

FSHELP does not have the <topic> argument so whilst it lists the ¡°CHANGE¡± command as an EDIT sub-topic when you do FSHELP, it cannot display this file.

FSHELP CHANGE EDIT produces help for the CP CHANGE command, FSHELP EDIT CHANGE just gives the general EDIT help.

?

I believe FSEDIT is set up this way so that the F2 navigate to another command works. It simply looks for ¡°FSHELP <word> and a proper fix would need FSHELP to know which environment its working with.

?

I guess a temporary fix is to my hack is to amend EDIT so when it calls FSEHLP it only passes the ¡°<topic>¡± if two arguments are passed?

Also add a (NOSCREEN option to allow the ¡°hidden¡± topics to be displayed?

?
